Which is awesome. Because then *I* don’t have to do it. Manually. Every time a dependency changes.

Look how happy that grandma is. She just saved herself a lot of time by modifying only the dependency she cares about—and having Maven think about the rest.

Hover that class, sorry, no javadocs… Maybe if you go find all that crap, and include it in your workspace somewhere, and then tell Eclipse where it’s located… maybe when you have lots of time. Right?
Amen brother.

Halelujah!

Do you have a recommended path? (read: is there someplace with usable documentation on how to convert one's WO projects?) I’ve attempted to make the conversion on several occasions but I always stop somewhere along the way. I’m currently using Ivy for dependency management, and it’s a hole that I’d prefer not to dig myself deeper into.
