Can not Convert to Maven Project in Eclipse

Question

I am trying to follow this tutorial: http://crunchify.com/how-to-build-restful-service-with-java-using-jax-rs-and-jersey/

And in step 3, you're supposed to convert your project to a Maven project. However, the option Convert to Maven Project does not show at Right-click > Configure. I have installed Maven using apt-get. Is there any settings I have forgotten?

I am using Eclipse Indigo on Linux Ubuntu 12.04.

Try following the steps from [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/29205958/2587435) to get up and running. The tutorial you are going off uses Jersey 1.x. The link I linked to uses Jersey 2.x, but with the same method, you can select the 1.x archetype to get started. — Paul Samsotha, Jun 24 '15 at 11:21

You need the m2e plugin for eclipse. If you have installed it, you have to do a right klick on your project and there you will find the item configure.

Ah, sorry. I see that I wrote `File > Configure` in my question. I did right click on my project, choosing `Configure`. Maven does not show up there. – plukusnake Jun 24 '15 at 11:23
Did you maybe already import the project as a maven project and resolution is already working? – questionaire Jun 24 '15 at 11:26
I does not seem like it. My project don't contain any pom.xml yet. I am trying to re-install Eclipse at the moment. Maybe I'll have better luck the second time. :) – plukusnake Jun 24 '15 at 11:27
Yeah, and be sure you also installed the m2e plugin. – questionaire Jun 24 '15 at 11:29
So my answer was helpful? ;-) – questionaire Jun 24 '15 at 11:52

I don't know what went wrong on my first try. But when I re-installed Eclipse with plug-ins and such (as M2E), it worked.
