Generate Eclipse Project files using Maven

Maven has a special Eclipse plugin that can be used to generate Eclipse IDE files (*.classpath, *.wtpmodules and the .settings folder) for use with a project.

To generate the Eclipse project files from an existing POM file, run the following command:

mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0

The flag -Dwtpversion=2.0 is optional. It instructs Maven to add support for Eclipse WTP version 2.0 to the newly created project.

Install the Redmine-Mylyn Connector for Eclipse

Redmine has a really nice user interface. But many developers want to access the repository from their favorite IDE. With Eclipse this can be done easily with the help of the Redmine-Mylyn Connector. The plugin offers a full 2 way integration between the two.
