[转帖]eclipse 3.6.1 安装maven插件失败的解决办法

一、eclipse 3.6.1
下载地址[eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-win32.zip]
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/heliossr1

二、插件地址
1、gef 插件地址：
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/interim/
实际测试发现eclipse 3.6.1已经安装gef,仅仅缺少zest插件,最小安装zest的runtime即可,地址如下:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/gef/downloads/drops/3.6.1/R201009132020/GEF-zest-3.6.1.zip
在没有安装zest插件的话,直接安装m2eclipse插件会报出缺少依赖的错误,信息如下:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Maven Integration for Eclipse (Required) 0.10.0.20100209-0800 (org.maven.ide.eclipse.feature.feature.group 0.10.0.20100209-0800)
Missing requirement: Maven Integration for Eclipse (Editors) 0.10.0.20100209-0800 (org.maven.ide.eclipse.editor 0.10.0.20100209-0800) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.zest.core 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Maven Integration for Eclipse (Required) 0.10.0.20100209-0800 (org.maven.ide.eclipse.feature.feature.group 0.10.0.20100209-0800)
To: org.maven.ide.eclipse.editor [0.10.0.20100209-0800]

2、subclipse 插件地址：
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
实际测试subclipse不安装也是可以的.

3、maven2 插件地址：
m2eclipse-core Update Site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
m2eclipse-extras Update Site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras
注意 ：必须两个插件都安装，不安装extras 插件时，点击“run as server”来运行项目时会报错：“the selected did not contain any resources that can run on server maven project”

三、安装时出现问题
直接在线安装maven2 会出现依赖插件找不到的问题，无法安装。必须先安装gef 插件后才能安装m2eclipse-core 插件，然而安装m2eclipse-extras 插件又依赖subclipse 插件。所以，三个插件的正确的安装顺序是：gef插件 》subclipse插件 》m2eclipse插件。
m2eclipse-core插件 ——依赖——＞gef插件
m2eclipse-extras插件 ——依赖——＞subclipse插件

安装完成后，启动eclipse,你将还会看到如下提示：
安装m2eclipse插件后，重启Eclipse老是提示：
Eclipse is running in a JRE, but a JDK is required
Some Maven plugins may not work when importing projects or updating source folders.

-vm配置项必须在 –vmargs配置项前，是因为执行到-vmargs配置项已经选择了一个默认的JVM了。所以在–vmargs前面加上这一句：
-vm D:/Java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin/javaw.exe
