Although I found both m2eclipse and Q4E somewhat buggy. Still a long way to go to maturity, that's why it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the command line as well.

There you can configure two things: - Download Artifact Sources - Download Artifact JavaDoc Now whenever you specify a new dependency with m2eclipse, it downloads everything right from the start. Just right-click on the Eclipse project, choose Maven... Add Dependency... Then choose your dependency (if you have configured a repository with an index). It will be downloaded together with the sources and JavaDoc, and everything will be attached automatically by m2eclipse (check the Project's build path). There’s an easier way if you use m2eclipse:
