I would go even further here.

The Eclipse <-> Maven integration is still (2015!) hugely messy, often 
requiring special hacks within Mojos to work [at all].
M2E - which seems like the preferred choice in the Eclipse community - 
depends on largely undocumented hacks to 
work with Mojos updating file systems and other IDE/Maven-related 
properties. 

For example - I still don't know how to make ITs within a Mojo codebase to 
validate that M2E gets whatever data 
it needs to work properly. 

It seems that the Eclipse community requires less entropy to get their 
Maven integration to work properly - not more.
Hence, I would recommend *not adding* the Eclipse Maven plugin to Mojohaus 
unless someone is actually prepared 
to work with it and maintain it. We already have a lot of plugins, and 
adding yet another rarely-if-ever-used mojo to 
our collection does not seem to assist in creating simplicity for 
developers out there. 

("Focus on the living, not the undead").

My 2 cents.
