[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2945) Unable to import Maven project from Git perspective

[Fred Bricon (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2945?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12948373#comment-12948373 ] 

Fred Bricon commented on JBDS-2945:
-----------------------------------

There are a couple ways to import maven projects from git :
- [m2eclipse-egit|https://github.com/tesla/m2eclipse-egit], installable from Preferences > Maven > Discovery > Open catalog
- [~snjeza]'s [JBoss Git Integration plugin|JBIDE-8452]

But I agree we need a more streamlined way to import Maven projects with eGit. I opened a [feature request for eGit|https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=354524] some time ago, but we never found the time to contribute anything.

> I am roughly following these steps https://community.jboss.org/wiki/AdvancedJavaEELabjaro2014 to import a project from a Git repository.
> I firstly use the Git perspective to clone a remote repository.
> Then, still in the Git perspective when I right-click on the "Working directory" there is an option to "Import projects". However, this option only allows for eclipse or general projects to be imported. A Maven project is not recognized.
> I am aware of other ways of importing the Maven project. However, I think that Maven should be supported consistently across all the "import-project-like" dialogs, not only some of them.
