[m2e-users] Can you execute Maven commands manually within Spring ToolSu

["Erich Specht" <erich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using STS with Maven and need to use jars that don't reside in a Maven repository. Is there a way to run maven commands like those in this article http://javadevtips.blogspot.com/2012/08/google-analytics-api-usage-example.html  directly through STS? I've tried finding if I can execute Maven commands in a terminal, but "which mvn" doesn't show me where it's at, so it seems like the default STS install on Linux doesn't allow you to use Maven outside of STS. Any help would be appreciated.
