This is a very good Maven Eclipse plugin
Maven Integration for Eclipse provides tight integration for Maven into the IDE and providing the following features:
- Launching Maven builds from within Eclipse
- Dependency management for Eclipse build path based on Maven’s pom.xml
- Resolving Maven dependencies from the Eclipse workspace without installing to local Maven repository
- Automatic downloading of the required dependencies from the remote Maven repositories
- Wizards for creating new Maven projects, pom.xml or to enable Maven support on plain Java project
- Quick search for dependencies in Maven remote repositories
- Quick fixes in the Java editor for looking up required dependencies/jars by the class or package name
It has also good integration with Mylyn.
