Try this:

<project>
    ...
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <downloadSources>true</downloadSources>
                    <downloadJavadocs>true</downloadJavadocs>
                    ...
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
    ...
</project>

This works using Eclipse, otherwise you can do this on the command line:

# mvn dependency:sources
# mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc

# mvn dependency:sources # mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc works. I want to know what is your first solution mean? – user496949 Feb 27 '11 at 08:26
The first one is if you use Eclipse and you put this into your `pom.xml` file managing repositories, dependencies and plugins. – Tim Mar 08 '11 at 14:47
