If our group uses Maven, will it promote IDE independence?
NetBeans generates a lot of project files that Eclipse doesn’t use – if a developer creates something with NetBeans and Maven, can this project be directly ported to Eclipse using Maven?
If you’ve your pom.xml you can generate an Eclipse project with
mvn eclipse:eclipse
In general with Eclipse, I avoid committing any eclipse-specific artifacts to the source code repository, they are in my ignore file (in my case with Git, in .gitignore).
UPDATE: As for the comment regarding m2eclipse, then you can you can install m2eclipse plugin with Help -> Eclipse Marketplace. After installing it you can import the project from Eclipse with File > Import… > Maven > Existing Maven Projects.
