[Tutorial] Create a Maven project and import it with m2Eclipse

In this video tutorial, I show how to create a Maven project under DOS. Then how to import it to Eclipse with m2Eclipse.

The command used is :

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.company.celinio -DartifactId=SecondTuto -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

The directory structure created by the maven-archetype-webapp is the following :

SecondTuto/
SecondTuto/pom.xml
SecondTuto/src/
SecondTuto/main/
SecondTuto/main/resources
SecondTuto/main/webapp
SecondTuto/main/webapp/index.jsp
SecondTuto/main/webapp/WEB-INF
SecondTuto/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

The m2Eclipse plugin for Eclipse enables you to work with Maven projects in Eclipse.
For instance, it is possible to run the INSTALL maven plugin from Eclipse to generate the WAR archive in the target folder.
