upgrade from 0.0.12 to 0.9.x, and (correct me if I'm wrong) m2eclipse
and WTP integration needs to go a little further before it's worth
relying on m2eclipse for webapps - unless you're beta testing.
Adam, it is certainly your right to stay on nearly 8 month version of
m2eclipse, but I don't think it would be fair to say this about present
WTP integration. Yes it has few shortcomings and we could have done a
better job in documenting those shortcomings. This is where community
could actually help us. So, please by all means do help us update wiki
pages. Editing is allowed for anyone, you just need to create an account
at Codehaus. From the top of my head the current shortcomings are:
- WTP EJB, RAR and EAR project types are not implemented yet
- WTP can't deploy web app if it has dependencies that have same
artifactIds and different groupId
- Maven war overlays are not supported
- warpath Maven plugin is not supported
Anyways, I would like to encourage anyone to try WTP integration in
m2eclipse 0.9.4. You can start from this mini howto.

No disrespect intended, and I appreciate your concern to encourage people to use
the latest version, but nobody else had answered the OP.
For a long time I would always download and use the latest version and also do
that for other developers in my office but it got to the point with 0.0.12 where
m2eclipse was simply good enough to do everything I needed, I had worked out how
to configure WTP to work with it, and the pressure of work peaked, so that's
where I stopped. It wasn't just me whose time I was worried about.
I dream of time when the pressure eases off and I can play a little again.
Hopefully it's not too far off.
