Eclipse: imports Maven project, missing maven-gae-plugin

Coming from Visual Studio, I'm pretty new to the Eclipse IDE. And to find it is very difficult. I seem to get error messages like "missing ..." LOT.

The last problem I ran into is simple: I am trying to compile and run this sample project: http://code.google.com/p/gwtgae2011/

  • When I select "checkout maven projects from SCM", my SCM dropdown is empty ...
    So I just checked it manually. No problems.
  • Import Attempt> Existing Maven Project. It seems to read pom.xml in order, but shows an error:
    "No entries found on the market to handle maven-gae-plugin: 0.8.1: unzip to Eclipse. See the help for more information.

Since I cannot find it through updates or the market in eclipse, I downloaded the maven-gae-plugin (http://code.google.com/p/maven-gae-plugin/downloads/list). I decided that just dropping it into the “plugins” or “dropins” folder should be enough. Apparently not so ...

Question: How to fix this error? (I tried both 3.6 and 3.7)

Links to some good eclipse tutorials covering these topics are also very welcome!

THANKS!

maven-gae-plugin is in the central repo, so you need to find it.

Have you set the path to the local repo? http://united-coders.com/phillip-steffensen/maven-2-part-3-configuring-eclipse-for-apache-maven-2-projects

I ran into this error, which worked for me:

  • Comment plugin
  • Import to eclipse
  • Uncomment plugin
  • XML plugin error detection
  • Fixed bug detected in XML plugin

I'm not sure, but it seems like this is an obscure error that something about pom.xml is invalid.
