31 -* Install Maven Eclipse plugin: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/
32 -* Optionally you might want to install the Web Tools Project (WTP) feature if you want to deploy XWiki to a support server without having to leave the Eclipse IDE, See [[The WTP homepage>>http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/]] for details and [[Installing and Using the Eclipse Web Tools>>http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?r=1&file=/technology/phoenix/demos/install-wtp/install-wtp.html||target=_new]] for help.
33 -* You might also want to work on AspectJ based legacy code legacy, for that you should install AJDT Eclipse plugin: http://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/.

37 -* Now we're going to import the XWiki source (checked out above) into your Eclipse workspace. Select **[File->Import]** and there under the **General** category, select **Maven Projects** and click **Next**.
38 -* On the next screen, point **Root Directory** to whatever XWiki module you wish to work on. If you point the Root Directory to top-level repository folder, you will end up with a gazillion of Eclipse projects. Therefor only select the module you wish to work on, and keep in mind that M2Eclipse will take care of dependencies.
39 -* Finally, click **Finish** to dismiss the import wizard and let the workspace adjust itself (This will take some time depending on the number of projects to be imported).
