imported maven project does not appear as java project. Shows folders

Question

I checked out the existing project source code from SVN to a folder in my system. Then I opened eclipse. Import Project-> Existing Maven Project.

It imported without iss

Answer 1

Try to:

1. Right click the project->Configure->Convert to Maven Project

---- Edit ----

If this doesnt work, it is likely that someone checked in their environment files into your SVN. If they checked in:

• .project
• .classpath
• .settings/

They could be conflicting with your environment (different settings/plugins/versions of eclipse...). Try dropping your project, deleting the folder/files, then remove these files from SVN, and repeat your initial process. All of these files/folders will get generated during the import to eclipse.

---- Edit 2 ----

Per your recent edit to the question, you have a multi-module project. If you only did this on the parent project, then there is no source folder. So you wouldn't see it. You should:

1. File->Import...
2. Choose Existing Maven Projects, Next
3. Set the Root Directory to ecs/ecs-ejb, Finish
4. Repeat for all other modules.

In eclipse, each module of a multi-module maven project needs its own eclipse project.
