  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)
    This will generate valid eclipse .project and .classpath files from the maven build

    mvn eclipse:eclipse
  3. Startup eclipse if it is not running

    3. Click OK (eclipse will restart)
      • 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
    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

    2. Click Finish to import the selected projects
      • This will take awhile, probably 5+ minutes
