I'll explain how to add showcase sample into the eclipse from git repository above then how to set the debugging environment step by step. 

1. Make a eclipse project

• Select Import from the context menu in the Navigator or Project Explorer
• Navigate to the Git folder and select "Projects from Git"

• Then click Next Until "Select a wizard to use for importing projects" page is shown
• Select "Import s general project"

In my case, other option could not import any project

• Finally click Finish.

2. Set up the debug environment for this sample

• Open the context menu by clicking the right mouse button on the Navigator or Project explorer
• Go to the "Debug As" menu and select the "Debug configurations..."
• Select "Maven Build" like the following

• Click the right mouse button on the "Maven Build" then select "New"
  
• The new configuration will be made like the following then enter name as "Debug tomcat"

• Then click the Source tab and click "Add" like the following

• Select Project like the figure above then click OK. and select "hdiv-spring-mvc-showcase".
