See [0] for a comparison of the available plugins. The maven-eclipse-plugin just creates eclipse configuration files for your projects, no further intergration. This is simple, quite robust but doesn't provide as much comfort as the other two options. I didn't use m2eclipse or q4e recently but they follow a completely different approach. They are plugins for eclipse and try to adapt your IDE and add new features to it. If you search the list archive you should find some more information. This question is asked every now and then. hth, - martin [0] http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Eclipse+Integration
