AFAIK you need both (in Eclipse).

Dunno. Brett is handling the builds (I only run either from Eclipse Run or
from the published Rails jars). 

I hardly know anything about Maven. In the past I have been half-involved
with some (old) projects that used Maven, and perhaps some other stuff.
What I remember about these projects was the ubiquitous presence of pom.xml
files that did not mean anything to me (I wasn't really interested either -
it worked). So I'm blank.

Perhaps we'll better restrict ourselves to one major step at a time?

One thing on our Git repo that I have struggled with yesterday is that it
seems to require that the .git directory would exist at the same level as
all project directories (game, tile, data etc.).  I was trying to get these
directories below a src directory on the same level as .git (under the
project root), but failed  to get there. Not really a problem, but perhaps
noteworthy.
