export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx1024m |
This sets the limit on the jvm that maven starts to a bit higher than the default, which should be enough. (I actually set it to 2048m, but that's cause I'm paranoid : )
Setting up Eclipse
You need to add some software sources for the Eclipse plugins:
...
- m2e url: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
- gwt url: http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.7
- (optionally) egit url: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
- note that I don't use the eclipse git integration so I can't speak to it's stability, usability etc.
