95 95  As Maven takes care of the dependency management, you must use a mechanism to add the jars to your Eclipse build path. There are 3 options:
96 -# Use the mvn eclipse:eclipse goal to update your .classpath file.
97 -# Use the m2eclipse plug-in for Eclipse.
98 -# Use the q4e plug-in for Eclipse.
