How do I interact with Maven goals using Eclipse/STS?

I am learning Eclipse, and I'm trying to find out how to interact with Maven goals visually in Eclipse/SpringSource Toolsuite. In IDEA, there is a nice Maven menu on the right-hand side of the IDE that is put there by default - no extra user configuration is necessary to make this show up there.

How can I get the same thing in Eclipse? It seems weird that this is not enabled by default. I've looked in the "Window" section of the IDE and I also don't see it either. The only window dealing with Maven is the repository listings... which is not what I want.

Do people use the command line instead? How can I get the same thing that IDEA has?

  • If it is eclipse, get M2Eclipse plugin installed for your eclipse. Just go to Help -> Eclipse Market Place and try to Find "Maven Integration For Eclipse". In the results choose "Maven Integration For Eclipse" and install it.

  • Then, if the project in your workspace is a Maven Project right click on it and choose Run As -> it will show you some default goals
    like clean, install, etc.. If you want to run other goals choose run configurations and in the left part of the window, you will find an
    option Maven Build. Right click on it and select New -> then you will be prompted to choose the project and enter the goals you want to
    execute...
