Choose one and use it. They are maintained by two different groups and trying to import each others details is too error prone. > What command line should I now be using instead? > > Or should I just stick with version 2.7?

Neither m2eclipse or eclipse:eclipse require your to place eclipse project files in source control. m2eclipse will auto-generate the files for you. Since I dont use m2eclipse, I can't tell you how.
