Use the Maven Eclipse Plugin. It generates the necessary files for the Eclipse IDE.

Here is an alternate way without using m2Eclipse plugin.

Install Maven and add the bat file to the path. Once this is done open a command prompt and go to the directory where the pom.xml file of your project exists. At this directory level do a:

mvn eclipse:eclipse

This will make your project Eclipse friendly. Once this is completed, import the project by using File Menu in Eclipse. File->Import. In dialog select Existng Projects into Workspace. Click Next. Then select the root directory as the directory from which you ran the mvn command. Click Finish.

You project should now be in your Eclipse IDE
