I am using Eclipse Indigo. I’m trying to Check out as Maven Project from SVN Explorer. The option is not available in context menu.
Solution:
1. Uninstall Maven

Window -> Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites
Remove all “m2e”
Close popup window.
2. Help -> Install New Software ->
What is already installed?
Click Maven Integration For Eclipse -> Uninstall.
Restart Eclipse Indigo.
3. Help -> Install New Software ->
Work with : Indigo – http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo

With the latest release from Eclipse – Indigo – now Maven is well supported. So it is no longer an ordeal to install maven support and especially svn integration.
To add the Maven with SVN into Indigo it is sufficient to got to “help -> install new software”
There you can select the Indigo plugin repository ‘Indigo – http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo’
Go to the section ‘Collaboration’ and select the features “m2e – Maven Integration for Eclispe” – and if you need Subversion support – “Subversive SVN Team Provider”
Now you have maven support provided by the sonatype plugin “m2Eclipse”
To check out an existing Maven project from an subversion repository you need the additional scm connector. To get this connector installed simply create at first a new project from the ‘New Project wizard’ – (menue ‘File -> new project’)
Select the project type : “Maven -> Checkout Maven Projects from SCM”:
Now you will see the dialog box to select your Target location:
The first time you can not choose a valid SCM URL type. You need first to install a SCM Connector for Maven and SVN. Click on the LInk ‘m2e Marketplace’
You will see the m2e Marketplace where you can now select the “m2e-subversive” connector:
Note: If you are using a different SCM system you have to select the corresponding connector type
After the Installation finished you can select the SCM URL Type and enter your repository URL:
Alternatively you can also checkout a project from the SCM view with the option “checkout as maven project”
