[OPTIONAL] Run the following maven commands in your sakai-src root folder (e.g. /opt/cafe-2.5.x)
This will clean out any eclipse files that are in there already:

mvn eclipse:clean

[OPTIONAL] Generate the eclipse files using maven (this is not required and not recommended)
This will generate valid eclipse .project and .classpath files from the maven build

mvn eclipse:clean
mvn eclipse:eclipse
eclipse

• Special Case: If your workspace is in a different location, I've found that this option is needed passed to maven, otherwise the dependencies get incorrect.  -Declipse.workspace=..

  • Passing the full path to the local workspace or current directory might also work

• If you are using the Maven Plugin for Eclipse then you

  need to also

  should run this instead:

  Code Block
  mvn eclipse:m2eclipse

1. Click on File -> Switch Workspace
2. Enter "WS-Sakai" in place of the default "workspace" directory

• NOTE: This is for backwards compatibility with projects using the M2_REPO variable so it can be skipped

1. Select Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Build Path -> Classpath Variables
2. Add MAVEN_REPO classpath variable with the path to the local maven repository (Sakai 2.4 or lower)
   • The path should be: $USER_HOME/.maven/repository
3. Add M2_REPO classpath variable with the path to the local maven repository (Sakai 2.5 or higher)
   • The path should be: $USER_HOME/.m2/repository

• Make sure you are in the package explorer

• Select Project and uncheck Build automatically

1. Enter the full path to the sakai source directory for the root directory This should be something like /opt/cafe-2.5.x if you followed the development setup guideYou can either import the entire sakai source tree (e.g. /opt/sakai-2.9.x) or selectively choose specific sub-projects you'll be working on (e.g. /opt/sakai-2.9.x/announcement) 
2. Click Finish to import the selected projects
   • This will take awhile, probably 5+ minutes
3. Clean all Sakai projects
   1. Select Project -> Clean
   2. Select Clean all projects
   3. Check Start a build immediately
   4. Click OK
