  1. [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
  2. [OPTIONAL] Generate the eclipse files using maven (this is not required and not recommended)

    mvn eclipse:eclipse

      • The following steps should be done in the WS-Sakai workspace
  5. Add Maven Repository libraries to classpath
    • NOTE: This is for backwards compatibility with projects using the M2_REPO variable so it can be skipped

      • The path should be: $USER_HOME/.maven/repository
