We have published stable development build 0.9.5.20080627-1151 and are planning to get back to regular weekly schedule for publishing dev builds. You can install the latest dev build from the dev update site at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update-dev/
Note that project dependencies have been significantly restructured, which changed the installation requirements. So, core feature is now require "WST XML editor" feature (which is part of the "Eclipse IDE for Java" and "Eclipse IDE Java EE bundles" from Europe and Ganymede or can be installed separately from the Europe or Ganymede update sites). See more details at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Installation+Requirements
The most notable addition in this dev build is the Form-based POM editor. The editor supports browsing and editing and Maven POM elements and provides additional cross-project navigation (to parent pom, to dependencies, to plugins, to plugin and dependencies web sites, etc). It also incorporates dependency hierarchy and dependency graph viewers and can show effective POM (similar to "mvn help:effective-pom" command). Kudos to the new member of m2eclipse team, Anton Kraev, for investigating and implementing EMF-based POM editing model and first prototype for the editor data binding.
Other noteworthy features include improved icons and decoration markers and handling of JDT classpath variable M2_REPO (also used by maven-eclipse-plugin) using settings from the active Maven installation.
As before, you can see New and Noteworthy features for this and previous builds on the wiki at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/New+and+Noteworthy
We would like to hear your feedback on the new POM editor as well as on other features you would like to see in m2eclipse. Also, please don't hesitate to submit bug reports to the project issue tracker [1] and expand project documentation on the wiki [2].
