This article is only suitable for maven beginners. It is suitable for users who don’t usually use maven like me, but occasionally want to download some open source projects managed by maven for secondary development, but also suffer from not knowing how to build a code structure that can be used directly. .
For example, download a jpress system https://github.com/JpressProjects/jpress
After getting the zip and decompressing, you can see the structure in the source package as follows:
The most important thing is the pom.xml file. This file defines which modules this project has and which class libraries it depends on. All we need to do is to convert the project into an eclipse project through this file.
First, go to the Internet to download the Maven program, put the maven executable file in the PATH environment variable, and set the MAVEN_HOME environment variable to point to Maven's home directory .
Then, open a cmd window, cd to the directory where the above image is located, and execute the command:
mvn eclipse:eclipse
Wait a moment for the build to complete.
