eclipse:eclipse to generate "Maven project" in using eclipse:eclipse

Question

I have a maven java project pom,
When running eclipse:eclipse maven will generate an "ordinary" java project
Is there a way to tell it to generate "maven java project" (I have to go to configure -> convert to Maven project every time)

Answer 1

eclipse:eclipse is long deprecated. Use m2e (included in modern eclipse).

Just create a new oroject and use Maven project as the type.
