Prerequisites
-------------

- Install maven - http://maven.apache.org/
- Install Eclipse - http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
	Eclipse Classic is enough to start
- Install m2eclipse
	http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e/

	Note: In eclipse Indigo there is a new version of m2eclipse 1.0 installed. This version is not compatible with code generation plugins.
	So please use m2eclipse 0.12 form the archived m2eclipse releases above.

How to import a maven project
-----------------------------

Start you eclipse and File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing maven projects -> Browse to the project directory  -> Finish
The project will then be imported and the classpath will be setup to include the maven dependencies.

For projects that generate sources like most CXF projects you also have to update the project configuration:
Right click on project -> maven -> update project configuration

The sources will be generated and the new source folder will be added to the eclipse project
