Accepted answer

You should use the new available m2e plugin for Maven integration in Eclipse. With help of that plugin, you should create a new project and move your sources into that project. These are the steps:

  • Check if m2e (or the former m2eclipse) are installed in your Eclipse distribution. If not, install it.
  • Open the "New Project Wizard": File > New > Project...
  • Open Maven and select Maven Project and click Next.
  • Select Create a simple project (to skip the archetype selection).
  • Add the necessary information: Group Id, Artifact Id, Packaging == jar, and a Name.
  • Finish the Wizard.
  • Your new Maven project is now generated, and you are able to move your sources and test packages to the relevant location in your workspace.
  • After that, you can build your project (inside Eclipse) by selecting your project, then calling from the context menu Run as > Maven install.
