Difference Between Maven Integrated in Eclipse and Maven from maven.org Website

63 Views Asked by At

Is the Maven instance that's installed separately (from the maven.org website) different than the one integrated in an Eclipse installation? If so, could I add the correct environmental variables to make the system look at both instances in order to run a project on either instance?

The Maven2Eclipse plugin is initially configured with an "embedded" Maven distribution, which is used by default. In the "Maven" section of the Eclipse Preferences, and the "Installations" sub-tab, you can see which Maven distributions Eclipse knows about. You can add additional ones, and you can change which one M2E uses for its builds by checking each distribution.
