Maven does not appear in Eclipse (Kepler) even after installing m2e

Question

I saw that others had this problem when Maven did not appear for them in Eclipse after installing the m2e plugin, but most solutions seem to suggest doing something like "Configure> Convert to Maven". But Maven does not appear to me in the Configure list, and it does not appear in the console> Open Console or in the File> New list. I see that some solutions relate to editing the classpath of the project, but I have no clear idea of ​​how to do this. I'm trying to get started with a Java EE7 book, and it uses Maven in the examples. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

Check the .log file in the .metadata folder in the workspace folder. Delete the .log file and restart Eclipse with the -clean option. If maven does not appear in the user interface, look at the .log file to see why maven cannot be loaded.

Answer 2

Have you tried downloading Eclipse Java EE ( http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/keplerr )? He already installed Maven

Answer 3

In the end, I just uninstalled and reinstalled Eclipse. Not sure what caused the problem in the first place, but it seems to have done the trick. I have definitely installed the Eclipse Java EE version and Maven now appears.

Answer 4

First, make sure m2e is installed correctly. To verify this, simply right-click on the project and you can see "Maven" in the context menu.

If it is displayed, simply select "Update project configuration"; once this is updated m2e will recognize and build the project as maven.

After that, please check whether the property property-> build path → lib is displayed depending on maven and the standard JRE in the library path.

Answer 5

This is a permission issue if you are using linux. Delete the eclipse folder and workspace directory (/ home / user / workspace). Retrieve the eclipse again using root. Grant full permission for the eclipse folder and run eclipse using root. then install the maven plugin from Marketplace or installNewSoftware. He should work then.

Answer 6

I had the same problem and found that, oddly enough, closing and reopening Eclipse is NOT the same as restarting Eclipse. When he asks if you want to restart now, select "Yes" or "Restart" in the "File" menu.
