I've done some searching, but haven't found any satisfactory answers:
what's the best Maven 3 plugin to use with Eclipse? Will the m2 plugin work satisfactorily? I understand M3 tries to be backwards compatible where it can, but there are some differences.

Anyone's experience would be appreciated!

A separate Maven plugin is no longer required. Maven 3 integration is built into the latest version of Eclipse (Indigo) by way of the m2eclipse plugin.

See the 'where is m2eclipse' article for more information.

  • For those who want to know, Eclipse (Indigo) is version 3.7. – jedison Jul 07 '14 at 15:10
  • It seems you need at least Eclipse Luna to be able to install the m2eclipse plugin, as [indicated here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24479109/maven-for-eclipse-1-5-0-plugin-cannot-be-installed-under-kepler). – Paul Nov 20 '14 at 11:30
