title: Eclipse Maven: no "Checkout Maven project from SCM" option
body: <p>I have to compile and run a Maven project that some colleagues of mine developed some years ago. I'm using Eclipse Helios on Microsoft Windows Server 2008.</p>
  
  <p>In their documentation about how to compile it with Eclipse, I read that I have to install on my Eclipse:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Maven plugin (from <a href="http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e</a> )</li>
  <li>Maven plugin extra (from <a href="http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras</a> )</li>
  <li>Subclipse plugin ( <a href="http://subclipse.tigris.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://subclipse.tigris.org</a> )</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>After installed these plugins, their document says to select the option "Checkout Maven Project from SCM" and other operations.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried to install these plugins, but, first, I realized that they are antiquated.
  I discovered that Maven Plugin changed name and address (now is Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.2), and that Maven Plugin Extra does not exist anymore.
  Subclipse, instead, is available.</p>
  
  <p>So I installed these plugins, but, afterwords, no  "Checkout Maven Project from SCM" functionality was present on my Eclipse.
  Then I searched online to solve this problem, and I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13192393/eclipse-maven-doesnt-show-maven-project-from-scm">this thread on StackOverflow.com</a>. It suggested to install the <strong>Maven SCM handler for Subclipse</strong>.
  I've searched it on the plugin repository of Elcipse <strong>but it does not exist anymore.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Which Eclipse plugin may I use to get the "Checkout Maven Project from SCM" functionality on my Eclipse IDE ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks a lot</p>
