m2e and maven-eclipse-plugin use fundamentally different and incompatible approaches to integration between Eclipse workspace and Maven build. m2e uses provided APIs to configure workspace projects based on pom.xml information, while maven-eclipse-plugin mimics the results by writing project configuration files on filesystem directly. Both approaches have their merits, but you have to choose one or the other.

Hello, In the past, we could start a M2Eclipse project with the maven-eclipse-plugin. Now, what is the good way to configure an eclipse project via M2Eclipse ? Is there an extention that allows to read the configuration of the maven-eclipse-plugin ? I would like to retrieve the configured Eclipse facets for example ! We can start with projects built with the 'eclipse' goal of the maven plugin; then, add the M2E nature: but is this the best way to proceed? It seems to me that M2Eclipse still reads the maven-eclipse-plugin configuration to set the additionnal project natures: is it temporary ? Thanks in advance. -- Philippe
