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.

Answer 2

Possibility is Module doesn't have .classpath.

Kindly right click on Module and Change Project fact as Java.

else

If you are using command Prompt. 1. mvn eclipse:clean 2. mvn eclipse:eclipse

else

Delete Project from Eclipse don't delete content from disk. remove .classpath and .project

Re-import as maven existing Project

Answer 3

I got it working using Proyect --> Properties --> Project Facets

In my case was a web project so I checked Java and Dynamic Web Module

Answer 4

Try right click on project, Maven->Update Project... (or similar, the link name changes depending on version)

This works for me when adding new folders, but I have not encountered the problem when importing a project.

Answer 5

Right Click->Maven->Update Project.

Above works perfectly fine for Eclipse Juno and solves the problem.

Answer 6

Adding projects to working sets should help

try it -> right click the project -> Maven -> Assign Working Sets... -> Add projects to working sets
