Note that the first compilation takes a while to finish as maven downloads dependencies used in the projects.
1. Start Eclipse with the workspace you would like to use. It is usually a good idea to use the parent folder of the Git repository as the workspace folder.
1. Import the project into Eclipse as a maven project. Use *File* -> *Import* -> *Maven* -> *Existing Maven Projects*.
-1. Select the *vaadin* folder (where you cloned the project)
+1. Select the *framework* folder (where you cloned the project)
1. Click “Finish” to complete the import of Vaadin Framework
Now the project should compile without further configuration.
