I don t think one needs it any more  The latest versions of Eclipse have Maven plugin enabled  So you will just need to import a Maven project into Eclipse and no more as an existing project  Eclipse will create the needed  project   settings   classpath files based on your pom xml and environment settings  installed Java version  etc     The earlier versions of Eclipse needed to have run the command mvn eclipse eclipse which produced the same result
