Problems with creating multi module maven project from SCM

Question

I wish to create a multimodule maven project from SCM, my svn repository is DEVEO. Here are the steps i perform in eclipse mars (I have installed m2e plugin + subversive + and required connectors)

1. Right Click Project Explorer > New > Project
2. Maven > Checkout Maven Project from SCM
3. SCM URL :
4. Click Next

5. Click Finish

6. Then there is a popup window saying "No projects found, do you want to create project using new project wizard" I click "OK"

7. From New Project Wizard, I select Maven > Maven Project

And i create my new project.

When i go into my workspace what i see is

A. Project Folder is not created inside maven folder B. The Maven folder has no trunk, branches or tags

Ideally project should be created inside Maven folder > trunk. Any Helps

Answer 1

Thanks All,

My purpose was to just use eclipse subversive plugin and not install any external svn client like tortoise. Its kind of a workaround but eventually you can do everything from eclipse. So here is what i did

a. I completely ignored the m2e way of creating project from scm as mentioned in my question.

I simply created a maven multi-module project structure. Right click the root project > Team > Share Project

and then while i am adding the project i use the option "use multiple projects layout with specified root name" and rest is very clear.

I even did not had to create a trunk or tag or branch in my repo separately. It was all done automatically.

It is better if you:

• checkout manually your svn repo outside the Eclipse workspace (without Eclipse running)
• make sure your multi-module projet is working (mvn clean install)

Then you can import that project into Eclipse (File/Import Maven project), and Eclipse should detect everything (maven + SVN)
