An Eclipse plug-in for generating Eclipse IDE files, like .classpath, .project, etc. Often confused with M2Eclipse.
One of two leading plug-ins integrating Eclipse IDE with Maven. As opposed to M2Eclipse, it focuses on generating Eclipse project files on demand, rather than full, live integration with Eclipse build.
Beware this plugin has been officially RETIRED and it is no longer maintained.
Users are advised to use m2e, the Eclipse Maven Integration instead of this plugin, as it can more closely resemble the actual build and runtime classpaths as described in the project pom.xml - among other advantages. However, there are project setups and workflows that still work more efficiently with statically generated Eclipse metadata - for example when there is a large number of projects in a reactor. That's where the Maven Eclipse Plugin can still help you
