Importing an existing maven project - not a java project

[stephaneeybert]

Hello,

I'm using STS Version: 3.1.0.RELEASE and imported an existing Java Maven project.

But the project is not seen as a Java project.

The contextual menu Build Path is empty.

My project has a pom.xml file and a child module with its own pom.xml file.

It used to be fine on a previous install of Eclipse.

Before doing the project import, I removed the project files:

rm -fr .project .settings/

I don't think I should need to run the command:

mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources,downloadJavadocs

before doing the project import.

I wonder what is missing...

Could it be because I don't have a file called .m2/settings.xml

Kind Regards,
