How do you build an Eclipse plugin with Maven? What dependencies or plugins do I need? I am looking to develop for Eclipse 3.7.

Perhaps dated, but http://www.eclipse.org/articles/article.php?file=Article-Eclipse-and-Maven2/index.html may give some tips – Raghuram Jul 26 '11 at 13:40

1You should have a look to the Tycho project which is the way to go for building Eclipse plug-ins with Maven: http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/ – greydet Jul 26 '11 at 13:45

You can use Maven 3.3 (at least) and Maven Tycho 0.24.0. Add this to your project's .mvn/extensions.xml:
<extensions>
<extension>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-pomless</artifactId>
<version>0.26.0</version>
</extension>
</extensions>
Then you must define your pom.xml according to the structure of your project. I recommend this article: Eclipse Tycho for building Eclipse Plug-ins, OSGi bundles and RCP applications - Tutorial
You can follow the example on this page to have a general idea of using maven plugin Tycho.
