How to add maven repository jars to eclipse buildpath?

From eclipse I can see all the necessary jars in maven repositories view. But I have around 100 errors for the missing jar files. So I have set M2_REPO environment variable. I have ran the mvn eclipse:eclipse command from command line. When I run this command an ear package is added to one of subpackages of my project. For example my project name is portal. And sub package is portal_ear. The ear after running mvn eclipse:eclipse command is added to target folder of portal_ear. So my question is as I have the jars already in the repository, how can I add those to the portal buildpath inside eclipse?

Thanks.

Solution

  • Install m2e from the eclipse marketplace. You can now import existing maven projects into your workspace or convert existing ones.

    Works very well for Eclipse 3.7
