How do I add a Maven dependency in Eclipse?

1. On the top menu bar, open Window -> Show View -> Other
2. In the Show View window, open Maven -> Maven Repositories

3. In the window that appears, right-click on Global Repositories and select Go Into
4. Right-click on "central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)" and select "Rebuild Index"

• Note that it will take very long to complete the download!!!

5. Once indexing is complete, Right-click on the project -> Maven -> Add Dependency and start typing the name of the project you want to import (such as "hibernate").

• The search results will auto-fill in the "Search Results" box below.

In fact when you open the pom.xml, you should see 5 tabs in the bottom. Click the pom.xml, and you can type whatever dependencies you want.
