This feature requires that you create a WSO2 Maven project using Developer Studio 3.0.0 or later.
If you want to open a Maven project in Eclipse and continue development, or if your existing Eclipse project maintains its dependencies in a pom.xml file, you can run the command mvn eclipse:eclipse in the Maven eclipse goal against your project to generate your project descriptors or update existing project descriptors. Update an Eclipse project with dependencies from a POM file The POM file will now contain the dependency you added to your Eclipse project. If you add another third-party library to your Eclipse project buildpath, right-click the project and click Maven > Sync Project Dependencies with pom.xml. You can update your project's Maven pom.xml file with the current set of third-party libraries in your Eclipse project buildpath. Update the POM file with dependencies from the Eclipse project Developer Studio provides a simple way to synchronize the dependencies, as described in the following sections. Likewise, if you want to use a Maven project in Eclipse, you need to synchronize the Maven dependencies with the Eclipse project. If you are using Maven as your build tool, you must add these libraries as Maven dependencies in your Maven pom.xml file. Since your source code is using the APIs and utilities exposed by these libraries, you must add them to the Eclipse project classpath (project buildpath) as dependencies to prevent compilation errors in the Eclipse IDE.
When you work with software projects in Eclipse, you often need to refer to third-party libraries in your project.
