i installed m2e 1.0 latest version from here
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
i had to remove the old maven integration for eclipse, and the maven integration for eclipse WTP
after installing this latest version, and restarting eclipse, i found that the maven menu disappears from the right click on project, so i though that i need the m2e extras, but i couldn't found a compatible version, please advise.
The new Maven plugin uses different project metadata (due to the move to Eclipse foundation and new package names). So it doesn't recognize older Maven projects. You have to enable Maven for every project again to create the new metadata. To do this, right click on the project, choose "Configure" and then "Convert to Maven project". Now the "Maven" submenu should appear.
What version of Eclipse are you running? In the download page they are saying that m2e is tested against Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) and 3.7 (Indigo).

I have Mars2 version of Eclipse in my system. I had installed m2Eclipse to integrate maven with Eclipse from here http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases, however, I do not find the option for maven in Eclipse, neither under preferences nor under perspectives. Is there some other version of m2Eclipse to be used with Mars2 or what else can be done to resolve this issue?
Currently, I have Apache Maven 3.3.9 installed in my system along with JRE 1.7. I have other plugins as well like subclipse, beyond compare, JUNIT etc which seems to be installed properly.
Do this:
Right click on your Project --> Select Configure --> Convert to Maven Project
m2eclipse is not required to be installed separately with Mars2. It is by default integrated with it when we download Mars2 binaries. Also, we should be targeting maven 3.3.3, since m2eclipse is version 1.6 which targets maven 3.3.3.
M2eclipse v1.7 targets maven 3.3.9 and is mainly targeted for Eclipse Neon
unable to create a maven project after installing the m2e-egit plugin; Obviously I don't see the maven option under Eclipse > Window > preferences
Tool used:
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Mars Release (4.5.0)
Try this :
Firstly, for Maven:
Eclipse > Help > Install new software and add http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases.
Secondly, for m2e-egit:
Eclipse > Help > Install new software and add
https://repository.takari.io/content/sites/m2e.extras/m2eclipse-egit/0.14.0/N/LATEST/.
Because the version of m2e-egit in the Marketplace is outdated
Now restart eclipse.
It perfectly worked for me (Mars Version).
I had this same issue with m2eclipse-scala. I tracked the issue down to what seems to be multiple installs of the m2e plugin, one explicit and one implicit. This plugin gets installed by m2eclipse-scala if it's not already there (perhaps similarly to how m2e-egit operates). The base version of Eclipse that I'm using does NOT show m2e installed under Window > Installation Details, but all of the Maven buttons and toolbars are already present, and explicitly installing m2e makes them disappear.
I downloaded Eclipse Kepler and tried to install M2Eclipse from its update site.
After selecting Maven Integration for Eclipse, I clicked Next and got the following error:
Missing requirement: Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.5.0.20140606-0033 (org.eclipse.m2e.core 1.5.0.20140606-0033) requires 'bundle com.google.guava [14.0.1,16.0.0)' but it could not be found
So I searched through the internet to find out how to install the Guava Eclipse plugin. Some say it's from the Eclipse marketplace, but it cannot be downloaded. I downloaded the binary and tried to copy it to Eclipse's plugin directory. Still the same result.
cp ~/Downloads/guava-16.0.1.jar /Applications/eclipse/plugins/com.google.guava_16.0.1.v1234.jar
How do I install the m2e plugin for Kepler?
m2e 1.5.0 requires Eclipse Luna. It will not work with Kepler or Indigo. (thanks to #HDave for the link)
So you have to use an older version of m2e under Kepler.
During installation, uncheck "Show only the latest versions of available software". Then only check the 1.4.1 version or lower version in the candidate list. It doesn't require the Guava dependency.
Make sure you have the Luna repository in "Available Software Sites".
You can add it in : Help -> Install New Software...
Then in the "Work with" input, you type http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna/ and press enter.
After that, you should be able to install m2e with http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/
You can find Guava 15 on Orbit project - "repository of bundled versions of third party libraries that are approved for use in one or more Eclipse projects". You can also directly add the Orbit project update site to your kepler installation and you'll be able to update m2e
What has helped me for Juno release is adding http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.3/ as plugin update site. The version of Maven for Eclipse was 1.3 instead of 1.5 but, for me, this differrence was less principal than the absence of extra dependencies and extra update sites, especially that of the newer version of IDE itself.
Do you necessarily need version 1.5 or 1.3 also should be good?
STEPS TO INSTALL MAVEN (in Eclipse):
Maven Eclipse plugin installation step by step:
Open Eclipse IDE
Click Help -> Install New Software...
Uncheck "Show only the latest versions of available software"
Click Add button at top right corner
At pop up: fill up Name as "M2Eclipse" and Location as"http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases"
Check only one 1.4.1 Version.
Now click OK After that installation would be started.
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
This URL does not work.
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.3/
This one can work.
I have downloaded maven 3.x successfully but when I am opening eclipse ide File > New > Project and need to select maven project then I am not able to view the maven folder itself .I dont know whether I need m2e plugin or what as I am new to this .Please guide me on this.
Open Help - Eclipse Marketplace in Eclipse and then enter m2e or maven plugin. It depends on your eclipse version, what to install.
But there are also a lot of eclipse bundles, which already include the maven plugin like the Java EE version.
I usually can run zk apps on the server but the essentials app is a maven project and I cant see that option in zk studio (in eclipse).
How do I run it in eclipse?
Install the m2e plugin from the marketplace. It will give you additional options in the Run menu like "Maven install".
Note that Maven is a build tool, not a run tool. Maven only manages the classpath for you. You can then use the normal "Run as ..." of Eclipse to start it.
EDIT When you have m2e, make sure you import the project using "Import Maven project". M2e will then configure all the aspects, facets and natures.
If you already have the project imported, try "Update Project..."
If that doesn't work, try to enable the "Web Project Facet". See this blog post for details: http://www.mkyong.com/java/how-to-convert-java-project-to-web-project-in-eclipse/
I have installed m2e plugin on Eclipse Juno without any problem.
Have you tried install m2e plugin before install other plugins? it
