Question

I have been working with Netbeans quite a while and I am now moving to Eclipse.

Basically I have a Maven project that I would like to work on using Eclipse.

What I am not sure about is whether I need to point my Eclipse workspace to the directory where my project super pom is located or whether the Eclipse workspace needs to point to a clean/empty directory.

My question is basically:

• Are the source files eventually located in the Eclipse workspace directory?

Can anyone please advise?

Regards,

If you have the m2e or m2eclipse plugin installed, you can just do “Import…” then “Existing Maven Projects” and point it at the super-pom. It’ll import all the modules it finds, as separate projects.
