Step 1 : Setting Up Eclipse

First of all you'll need to have a few Eclipse plug-ins installed. So use eclipse IDE software install feature in the help dropdown menu → Install new software, and add link to Available Software Site, then install it.

1. GIT plugin (EGIT)- http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
2. Eclipse Maven plugin (M2Eclipse) - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
3. Maven SCM Handler for EGit (m2e-egit)

   Install from the M2E Marketplace (Settings → Maven → Discovery → Open Catalog and search for " m2e-egit")
