Moving to Maven

Hi,

I would like to move to Maven.

In former times, I used to run a Makefile to compile my stuff and everything happened at the commandline. I believe that Maven is an equivalent in today's world. I would like to do my projects with Maven.

However, I started GWT development using eclipse and the eclipse plugin for GWT. This means that I do everything with the eclipse GUI:

• create a new GWT project
• configure a GWT project (classpath, libraries, etc.)
• run a GWT app
• debug a GWT app
• ...

I know that I have to learn how to do all this with Maven, but there is a general fundamental question:

When you create and configure a project with Maven, which one is the leading system: Maven or Eclipse?
How do you work with a Maven project in eclipse? Is eclipse just a text editor then? What about all the eclipse menus about development (class path, java options, GWT compiler and so on)?

• How do you create a new GWT project with Maven?
• How do you compile it?
• How do you start it?
• How do you deploy it?

In essence: Are there equivalents to Makefile targets?

And which one is the leading system?

Maven or Eclipse or both (which would be great!)?
