Supposed that Maven and Eclipse are correctly installed, we can execute in the workspaces directory…

Find the “webapp-javaee6” archetype ID – in this case 415. This number is changing all the time, btw. Enter 415 at the Maven prompt.
You get asked for the archetype plugin version to use. Let’s chose the latest.

Let’s update to Java 1.7, add some useful dependencies (for later :) and attach the Eclipse plugin as well:

The Eclipse plugin allows generating Eclipse project metafiles by using the command: mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse (remember: mvn plugin:command). The ‘clean’ parameter is only required when regenerating the Eclipse project files after updates made outside of Eclipse, like adding dependencies in the pom.xml.
Eclipse needs to know the path to the local Maven repository. Therefore the classpath variable M2_REPO has to be set in Eclipse. This can be done via maven: mvn -Declipse.workspace= eclipse:add-maven-repo or manually in Eclipse via the “Window > Preferences, Java > Build Path > Classpath Variables” page, where M2_REPO has to be added.
More info can be found here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/.
After executing the eclipse plugin, we can open Eclipse and “File, Import…” the project.
Glassfish 3.1.2 and Eclipse Juno
Normally, you would install the Oracle Glassfish plugin for Eclipse via the Eclipse Market, but if you are using Eclipse Juno and Glassfish 3.1.2, the plugin will not be able to handle your Glassfish installation. Juno will not recognize the Glassfish server path. (I don’t understand why the official plugin is always 100 years behind the current Glassfish release?!).
Instead, you have to install another plugin via “Help, Install new Software”. Use this URL to find the operational one:
http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/glassfish/eclipse/juno/. (There is also http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/glassfish/eclipse/indigo if you stay with Indigo).
After restarting Eclipse, you will find “GlassFish 3.1.2.2″ in the server view and you can create an instance by selecting the “xxx/glassfish3/glassfish” directory.
Et zou!
