I'm starting with Maven and work on a sample which requests me to create a package within a Maven Project. But this fails; Eclipse Juno rejects the request with message "Source folder is not a Java project.".
I've installed "Maven Integration for Eclipse" from the Eclipse Marketplace and started with an empty workspace.
There is another problem pending: After creating the Maven Project the pom.xml-file is indcated as being in error. I will post this in another thread but want to mention it here; I don't think so but maybe it helps explaining the error in this post.

check the m2e-users list [1] for questions regarding the "Maven Integration for Eclipse".
That said, m2e has a feature for creating the configuration files which Eclipse needs to recognize a project as a Java project (assuming you have a valid pom at that point).

If you know the exact post, couldn't you post it here. I didn't find anything.

I didn't mean to refer to a particular post, but that's where you should ask your question (if it hasn't been answered already).

It has been answered since yesterday. The problem was that Maven needs direct internet connection and I was shielded by a firewall. This way Maven couldn't initialize. Now at least this problem has been solved.
Thank you.
