i know maven popular , have used when given exact step step guides. know, how use in general context?
for example, cloned git repo https://github.com/mrniko/netty-socketio/tree/netty-socketio-1.7.7 eclipse using git import tool. software comes none of dependencies, expectation them through maven/pom.xml.
however, stumped @ point. using eclipse luna , don't see option "resolve dependencies"? think it'd simple button press.
obviously not simple that! great before start downloading dependencies 1 one sites! (just kidding)
i hope not make stackoverflow post each time want resolve maven issues, hope can learn bit more maven troubleshooting through this!
you've imported project using git import function, means eclipse has not recognized project maven project.
you can solve right-clicking on project folder in eclipse's package explorer, selecting "configure..." , selecting "convert maven project". once this, eclipse m2e plugin automatically read project pom , download necessary dependencies.
