In Eclipse, I can create dependency project and refer it from Projects tab from Java Build Path dialog.
May I substitute this with something "mavenish"?
For example, may be I can post maven project to local repository and then refer it by maven coordinates as usually in pom.xml?
Yes you could install it to your local maven repository (mvn install). But it also works if you just have the project in your workspace you don't even have to refer it from Java Build Path as you've mentioned. Just add it as a dependency in your pom and the maven plugin in eclipse will use the dependency from your workspace.

In my workspace i have many maven projects with dependecies between them managed by maven.
When i try to navigate through the types it shows the maven installed artifact and not the actual class in the workspace residing in another project.
It will be of much help if eclipse autoresolves the maven dependency and point to the local project instead of installed artifact. Is there any we can force that.
Thanks
I imported one project form a git repository. I imported it as a Java project and the project has many maven dependencies.
After I executed maven install all the dependencies are showing under the project menu, but for other who checked out the project all the dependencies are showing in a maven library in the project.
We checked out the code from the same repository and we have the same settings for maven installed in our computers. What could went wrong in here? I checked the maven settings in eclipse and the setting.xml file and they are both identical (except some path names which differ on different machines.)
Right click over the project > Configure > Convert to Maven project. It should be displayed correctly, after this.
Can any one explain how to add Maven dependency JAR i.e. build path libraries? To be very specific how to include JAR file mentioned in pom.xml to Java build path? Maven dependencies - unable to see jars over here.
Don't have a option to update Maven dependencies. Also executed the script mvn eclipse:eclipse, seen on StackOverflow.
Generally, you should not have any need to deal with such a task manually. Here is the correct procedure for importing of maven project to your Eclipse IDE:
Make sure you have m2eclipse plugin installed (Maven support for Eclipse). As far I remember it is included to Eclipse IDE for JEE developers by default.
Checkout your maven project to any directory
From this directory (root pom.xml is located in), run: mvn eclipse:eclipse
Go to Eclipse, File -> Import, select "Existing maven project"
Select directory where your root pom.xml is located, Eclipse should find all maven modules.
Optional: if eclipse will tell you that it can't recognize some maven plugins - ignore this, just continue.
If you follow this instruction, IDE will create all maven modules as eclipse projects and you will have an option to update maven dependencies and also willsee all of them rigth in IDE.
Will all the jars used by the project added automatically to build path of project in eclipse by adding the maven plugin to eclipse(m2eclipse)? If not added automatically what should be done to get the jars into build path?
Will all the jars used by the project added automatically to build
path of project in eclipse by adding the maven plugin to
eclipse(m2eclipse)?
All the JARs that you define as dependencies in pom.xml will be added automatically to the Eclipse build path.
If your project is set up as a Maven project in Eclipse, then yes. Also this assumes that your settings.xml file and pom.xml are correct.
If it is an exsisting non-maven project, you will need to use the context menus to convert it into a maven project before the dependencies are added.
I have a maven project that contains a certain api I need to use in an eclipse plugin. This eclipse plugin is not currently a maven project but a normal eclipse plugin project with a manifest. I converted this plugin project to a maven project (using m2e menu command to change project to maven) I added the dependency to the maven project from this project. My maven build for this project is running fine from command line. Now when I launch the eclipse application I am getting a ClassNotFoundException for the api I am referring to from the plugin project. Please help.
This can be done by adding tyco configuration to the maven project. That enables you to have a maven project with a Manifest thus enabling other plugins to depend on it. More info: http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/
