title: Managing Maven project in Eclipse with git repository
body: <p>we recently migrated to Maven Build manager &amp; git hub repository for our Java web-app.  Also i switched to eclipse as eclipse has good set of plugins.</p>
  
  <p>As a new bie, i am simply running   <strong>mvn clean package</strong> from terminal at the code root directory. And then moving the compiled code i.e.,  /target/SNAPSHOT/* to tomcat/webapps/ROOT location.
  And then starting Tomcat7 server. The process is time taking especially when i do code changes in Java &amp; configuration .xml files. </p>
  
  <p>I want to do it completely in IDE environment as i did earlier in Netbeans,  update code -> build and run in debug mode, ->  do code changes  and then commit. </p>
  
  <p>Heard of egit &amp; m2e in eclipse for maven &amp; github integration, but not sure how to use it.</p>
  
  <p>Please walk me through the steps required in doing so. I am completely new to eclipse.</p>
