A Java web project created with Maven is not recognized as such by Eclipse

Question

I created a web project with maven like this:

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-webapp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-web

Answer 1

You can also use mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0 to generate all WTP meta-data for the project without changing the POM.

Of course, you'd have to change the WTP version if you are using an older version of Eclipse.
