title: Import Project using pom.xml
body: <p>Is there any way to point ecilpse (Galileo) at a pom.xml file located at a URL and have it setup my workspace based upon what is in the pom.xml file.  I have tried to use the import maven project feature in eclipse by downloading the pom.xml file to my desktop and importing the pom.xml file.  That resulted in my project containing all of the items from my desktop.  </p>
  
  <p>There was also a function to Checkout Maven Project from SVN and I tried that also, but encountered the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Can't rename c:\users\leto\FunJavaDevelopment\maven.1250263290804</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The SVN URL is <a href="http://dbunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dbunit/trunk" rel="noreferrer">http://dbunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/dbunit/trunk</a></p>
  
  <p>Am I just misunderstanding how to use the pom.xml file? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  </p>
  
  <p>By the way, I'm posting this on stackoverflow rather than dbunits site because I thought others might find the answer to be informative.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
