Checking out as Maven Project with Eclipse (OBSOLETE)

Unfortunately I had some problems with the approach described at Setting up Eclipse IDE (OBSOLETE). For me, the following approach works:

Test Environment

• Mac OS X 10.5
• Eclipse 3.3.2

Checking out

1. I'd recommend to keep Sling in a separated workspace, since it consists of a large number of projects.
2. Install the Subclipse and Maven 2 plug-ins as described in Setting up Eclipse IDE (OBSOLETE).
3. Right-click in the Package Explorer and select Import....
4. Choose Other -> Check out Maven Projects from SCM.
5. A dialog appears. Choose the following settings:
   • SCM URL type drop-down: svn
   • SCM URL: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sling/trunk (subject to change, you find the current URL on the Sling project website)
6. Click the Finish button.
7. After a while, quite a lot of projects should appear in the Package Explorer window, and the console should indicate that Maven downloads the dependencies.
