Eclipse IAM, Maven Integration For Eclipse at ApacheCon EU 2009 in Amsterdam http://www.carlossanchez.eu/ Eclipse IAM (Eclipse Integration for Apache Maven), formerly "Q for Eclipse", is an Open Source project that integrates Apache Maven and the Eclipse IDE for faster, more agile, and more productive development. The plugin allows you to run Maven from the IDE, import existing Maven projects without intermediate steps, create new projects using Maven archetypes, synchronize dependency management, search artifact repositories for dependencies that are automatically downloaded, view a graph of dependencies and more! Join us to discover how to take advantage of all these features, as well as how they can help you to improve your development process.
