We've tested against Eclipse 3.6. Later versions will likely also work, earlier versions may not. Eclipse users will need to install the following plugin components: - m2eclipse Core - Maven Integration for WTP (in m2eclipse extras), Instructions for installing the maven plugins can be found here: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/installing-m2eclipse.html Ensure Eclipse is configured to use Java 1.6 as this sample uses AppEngine. In Eclipse, go to the File menu and choose: - File -> Import... -> Existing Maven Projects into Workspace - Select the directory containing this file. - Click Finish. You can now browse the project in Eclipse. To compile your project for deployment, just type 'mvn package'. ==============================NETBEANS========================================== From the NetBeans IDE, install the Maven plugin.
