How to create a Maven Project using Eclipse?

Maven is a software project management, reporting manager, build, documentation and much more managing tool. I personally prefer this tool in almost every Java project. Maven supports JAVA programming language, you may not get this support for any other programming language Like RUBY. Maven provides an XML file 'pom.xml' where you can mention the dependencies of the jar files required for the software project. I will mention you the details below in steps that how easily you could do that. Do not waste much more time on the theory, you can get the theory from any other portals easily.
