title: Importing Maven project into Eclipse
body: <p>I want to import existing Maven project into Eclipse. I found 2 ways to do it:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Through running from command line <code>mvn eclipse:eclipse</code></li>
  <li>To install Maven Eclipse plugin from Eclipse.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What is the difference between the both and which one is preferable?  </p>
  
  <p>If I install Maven Eclipse plugin through the Eclipse menu <strong>Help -> Install New Software</strong>, do I still need to modify my <code>pom.xml</code> to include the Maven Eclipse plugin in the plugins section?</p>
