I added the maven plugin for eclipse Via the install software feature. In looking through some docs on how to set it up to actually work i have to create a String substitution that points to mvn.bat . then i have to create an external tool that uses this string substitution. the issue is that i can’t find mvn.bat on my machine. If i right click on my project folder and go to
Run As--> Run Configurations --> Maven Build is now an option but i can’t find maven.bat… are my directions old or do i need to download something else?
so it looks like i have maven installed but i am missing a step in set up. I can’t find the .bat file and get errors in my app in eclipse (indigo). I just discovered that I can use the project ok in spring source tool suite. so i will just use that.
thanks for your suggestions.
Which plugin did you install? You should install m2e from: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases . It comes with an embedded maven so you don´t need to do any configuration.
