Yes, I use Maven within Eclipse often...

The first plug in you want to use is the Maven Eclipse plug in
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/eclipse/

It has goals that create a .project and .classpath that Eclipse can use.

CodeHaus has a Meventide plug in for Eclipse that works nicely.
http://mevenide.codehaus.org/mevenide-ui-eclipse/features.html

It adds a few features that you might find useful.  It has a Maven 
launcher (like the Ant target editor that comes with Eclipse, it 
searches the POM and build.xml to give you a list of all available goals 
for the project, so it's easier to add goals to your external tools 
list).  It also includes a POM editor that works as well as a POM 
validator.  It has a Jelly editor for making your own plug ins.  It also 
has an autolaunch feature (you have to turn it on) to have a continuous 
build feature that Eclipse has for normal projects.  It also has a Maven 
repository browser.

So the general path from taking a Maven enabled source code, to actually 
working on it in Eclipse is as follows.  Verify you have the Maven 
Eclipse plug in and the Meventide Eclipse plug in installed.  Grab the 
code from the repository via the CVS perspective.  Surf through the 
Maven goals that Meventide lets you see, and run the goal [maven 
eclipse] to create the .classpath and .project.  (You may need to then 
start eclipse with the -clean option to get Eclipse to recognize the new 
files).

Finally you have a working system that you can use.  Add new Maven goals 
to your project using the POM browser and turn on the auto build feature 
if you want.

There is one problem that I have been unable to fix though.  Running the 
javadoc goal through Eclipse still gives me an error.  The javadoc 
command generated by Maven (with all of the classpath info) is too long 
to fit inside the Eclipse console.  You can run it in a command line 
with no problem, but I've yet to find a good setup for Eclipse that 
solves this issue.  Even when using the maven.javadoc.useexternalfile 
property.  (Any ideas?)

If you have any trouble with Meventide, I can say that Bob McWhirter 
(CodeHaus founder) is a really nice guy.  I met him at ApacheCon 2004, 
and he is a great resource.  CodeHaus has alot of community support and 
I'm sure would love to hear other ideas for their plugin.

Let me know if you have any other questions...
