After reading that list, I am really unsure, whether you considered all possible alternatives. For example, let's say I am just assigning a Maven goal like "generate-resources" and have the project builder run that. Much like the Ant builder, which invokes a target. (And, if I remember right, much like what has been done in the past.) Okay, I admit that I am missing a few settings like folders with generated sources and stuff like that. But so far, I was always happy with a manually generated build path in the project. In contrary, I am unhappy with the new way in 1.0.0, which frequently forces me to run "Update project configuration", discarding my manual project settings. IMO, the new M2E wants to be really clever. I have to admit, that I would prefer it to be not so clever while maintaining the feeling that I can control it. > Proprietary plugins.

That's not good, Igor. Please note: We are Eclipse *users*, not *developers*, like you. We are managing Maven projects, not Eclipse projects. We've got Nexus up and running, but are far from having an Eclipse update site. Having played with Tycho a little bit, I find the maintenance of an update site extremely cumbersome and hard. For example, I haven't yet found a way how to integrate a new version while preserving existing versions in the catalog.
