how to install maven and svn plugin into eclipse 3.6

process:

 

1. download eclipse 3.6

ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/helios/R/eclipse-jee-helios-win32.zip

 

2. install maven plugin :m2eclipse

Update Site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e

IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot upgrade from m2eclipse 0.9.8 or m2eclipse 0.9.9 to m2eclipse 0.10.0. If you are running m2eclipse 0.9.8 or 0.9.9 you must either uninstall m2eclipse from your Eclipse installation or start with a fresh installation of Eclipse.

To install this plugin in the Eclipse IDE:

1. Select Help > Install New Software. This should display the "Install" dialog.
2. Paste the Update Site URL into the field named "Work with:" and press Enter. Pressing Enter should cause Eclipse to update list of available plugins and components.
3. Choose the component listed under m2eclipse: "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Required)".
4. Click Next. Eclipse will then check to see if there are any issues which would prevent a successful installation.
5. Click Next and agree to the terms of the Eclipse Public License v1.0.
6. Click Finish to begin the installation process. Eclipse will then download and install the necessary components.
7. Once the installation process is finished, Eclipse will ask you if you want to restart the IDE. Sonatype strongly recommends that you restart your IDE after installing m2eclipse.

Note about 0.9.8 Workspace Incompatibility: If you are using m2eclipse 0.10.0 with a workspace that contains projects created under m2eclipse 0.9.8, you must remove the workspaceState.ser file. The workspaceState.ser file is located within the workspace directory in $workspacedir/.metadata/.plugins/org.maven.ide.eclipse/workspaceState.ser. If you remove this file, m2eclipse 0.10.0 will regenerate it as needed.

 

3. If you want, you can install m2eclipse extras

To install optional m2eclipse components, you will need to use the m2eclipse Extras update site. This update site contains the following m2eclipse components:
