Installing Maven in fc9 and maven plugin for eclipse

for maven plugin - install the below plugin
http://www.eclipse.org/iam/
and the respective installation instructions are available at http://code.google.com/p/q4e/wiki/Installation
and once it is installed successfully, select maven by right clicking the project and then build is done using maven rather ant.


And, for installing maven in fc9, yum is showing maven2.0.4 which is old and doesn't work with latest maven pom.xml. So, in order to install latest version of maven, get the latest version from apache site http://maven.apache.org/download.html and download it. Once downloaded, specify the bin path in your PATH variable. Reference: http://beans.seartipy.com/page/2/
