Installing the Eclipse Maven Addon

To install the Maven addon in Eclipse, open Eclipse and navigate to Help > Install New Software. Click Add. Give the software a name (a logical default would be 'Maven') and in the Location line, type this URL:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases

Wait for Eclipse to find the plugin, ensure all matches are selected, then click Finish. The Maven addon is now installed in Eclipse. For further documentation about this addon, see here.
