Eclipse Maven Plugin

I’ve experimented with two plugins for Maven support on Eclipse.

IAM Eclipse was my first try.  At first I liked it, but things like comments in the POM wreak havoc in the GUI configurator.  You can find it here:

To install ( http://code.google.com/p/q4e/wiki/Installation ) it add this to your update sites:

Sonatype has m2eclipse which worked much better for me.  It had much better configuration options, and was a little more forgiving.  Add these to your update sites:
