  Next, the Eclipse projects can be generated by invoking:
  {{{
- $ maven -o m:eclipse -Dmaven.eclipse.buildcommands=org.mevenide.ui.mavenbuilder -Dmaven.eclipse.projectnatures=org.mevenide.ui.mavennature

+ The '''-o''' option will do an offline build and this goes pretty quickly.  You can optionally specify the following properties to add the Maven specific natures and builders for all projects by appending the following properties to the goal.

+ {{{
+ -Dmaven.eclipse.buildcommands=org.mevenide.ui.mavenbuilder -Dmaven.eclipse.projectnatures=org.mevenide.ui.mavennature
+ }}}
+ 
+ However, the Maven builder tremendously slows down the Eclipse build process. So it is recommended that you do not add the maven nature and builder to every project unless it is absolutley necessary.  The recommended alternative is when the workspace is launched to right click on projects who wish to modify and select Maven --> Add Maven Nature.  This will greatly improve performance and avoid invoking the Maven builder on unncessary projects.
