There are two of the most common ways that Eclipse installs plug-ins:
1. One is the online installation, which seems to be used the most, that is: Help-and install New software, and then enter the HTTP address for installation, but there is a very obvious drawback, is slow, even if the network is not good to install quickly!
2. The other is the way of offline installation, the way to install the link, this way is better, very convenient.
Here are the following two ways to install:
Mode one: Use the first way to install, help--install New software Pop-up window and click the Add button to enter the HTTP address: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e,
Tick the option and wait for it to download and install, and then restart Eclipse when you're done.
Mode two: Use link mode to install Maven3 plugin offline.
The website does not provide MAVEN plug-in offline installation package, general, you search on the Internet, lucky words should be able to find. I've downloaded MAVEN's offline installation package from some people on the web for download by people in need
Eclipse-maven3-plugin.zip
1. Create two folders in the root directory of your eclipse installation: Links,plugins (name can be taken casually), my two folders are located in: Path=d:/development/eclipse-javaee/eclipse (as a reference, Used below)
2.eclipse-maven3-plugin.7z unzip to the plugins directory
3. Create a Maven.link in the links directory (the name can be arbitrarily taken, but it must be a file at the end of the. Link) file
Open and enter: Path= D:/development/eclipse-javaee/eclipse/plugins/maven (Please refer to your maven plugin above)
4. Restart Eclipse,ok, complete, start after you open window---> Preferences will find one more option maven, stating that the installation was successful.
