Installing this plugin

This plugin is not shipped in any distribution. You must manually install it on an EasyEclipse distribution.

The dependent plugin Eclipse Java Development Tools must be present in the EasyEclipse distribution you use, or must be installed separately.

Getting started

To adding needed libraries to a project requiring them, you should:

• Enable Maven 2 on the project, by right-clicking on a project and selecting Maven > Enable; the group ID can have any value.
• Add the needed dependencies, by right-clicking on the project and selecting Maven > Add Dependencies. You can then search the repository by providing a part of the name of the libraries. For example, typing junit will show all JUnit libraries.
• The libraries are then downloaded automatically when the project is built.

It is then possible to create and run Maven goal by selecting Run > External Tools > External Tools, create a new Maven 2 configuration, add goals to it, and run it. This step requires some understanding of Maven.

Tests

(Notes that tests are only displayed if the page is served statically)

• Passing:

  - new java project
          - new file, call it "SimpleTest.java"
          - paste this:
          import junit.framework.TestCase;
          
          public class SimpleTest extends TestCase {
          public void testSimple() {
          assertNotNull(new String());
          }
          }
          - project fails to compile
          - right-click on project, select "Maven2 > Enable"; enter a group id (same as project name for example), click finish
          - right-click on project, select "Maven2 > Add Dependencies".
          - type "junit", select junit-3.8.1.jar, click OK
          - project rebuilds, should build correctly
