Yep, I think this situation hinders more people than MECLIPSE-37 aimed
to help.  I'd like to see a fix-for version attached to this issue.

Yes, my workaround is to manually move the files from under the source
tree to a temporary location, mvn eclipse:eclipse, and then move them
back again.  Far from ideal..

There is - you can simply add a <plugin> block to the <build> block in
your pom, and then specify an explicit <version> tag.

This is a good point.  I remember back in the day m2 used to prompt
the user when newer plugin versions were available.  I assumed this
was still the case, but I've just checked by home machine and I'm
using eclipse plugin 2.0 rather than 2.1 that I have at work, which
explains a whole load of eclipse issues..

Does anyone know what the current status is for updating m2 plugins? 
I've tried the -cpu and -up cli flags but to no avail.  Also, it'd be
great to have a cli flag to list the installed plugins and their
versions.

Cheers,

Mark
