Tips on getting your Eclipse environment set up.
If you do not already have a version of m2eclipse >= 1.0, go into Eclipse and select Help > Install New Software. Under "Work with", select "All Available Sites". Type "m2" into the filter box and hit Enter. Click the checkbox next to "m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse" and click through the following dialogs until it's finished installing.
We highly suggest also installing the Maven command line tool. The Eclipse plugin is good as a nice interface to Maven, but it often has problems with it's internal engine. If you go install the standalone tool, be sure to tell the plugin to use it by going to Windows > Preferences > Maven > Installations. And add your standalone installation there.
Once the above is installed, in Eclipse go to Windows > Preferences > Maven > User Settings and point it to your settings.xml file (usually at ~/.m2/settings.xml). A standard, empty one can be found here.
Go to Help > Install New Software. Add a new site:
Name: UIMA plugins
Location: http://www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site
Back in the Available Software window, select the new site and click the checkbox next to "Apache UIMA Eclipse tooling and runtime support". Click through the dialog boxes until everything is installed.
