I've attached plugin.jelly for maven-eclipse-plugin downloading sources from ${repo}/${groupId}/src/${artifactId}-${version}.zip and installing it as ${maven.repo.local}/${groupId}/src/${artifactId}-${version}.zip.

It does it for all jar dependencies having eclipse.source property set to true. Example project.xml:

(...)
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<url>http://www.junit.org/</url>
<properties>
<eclipse.source>true</eclipse.source>
</properties>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
(...)

What you have to do now is to call "maven eclipse" and refresh your project in Eclipse.


And here is the code of plugin.jelly - a patch made in Eclipse:
