maven-eclipse-plugin works roughly 100% of the time here, but the
m2eclipse plugin fails miserably with our maven project setup. And yes
we tried the latest version. It always results in having to download
and install vanilla eclipse.

Meh. sounds like having a commercial stake in the project. I happen to
like commandline mvn eclipse:eclipse without having to bloat my
eclipse installation with unnecessary plugins—eclipse has trouble
enough keeping up with the size of our projects.

Why is it older? Because you don't like command line tools? Happening
to like command line tools make someone a dinosaur?
Is the maven-eclipse-plugin old because it is not given any resources
by sonatype which happens to maintain the m2eclipse plugin?

Why bother with building a release for maven at all? Doesn't m2eclipse
supplant that too?
