Maven Plugins and Eclipse

I have long meant to add this blog entry... Java newcomers are often confused by two different plugins that share VERY similar names... I can't even remember which is which based on their names alone: maven-eclipse-plugin (whose web page is titled 'Apache Maven Eclipse Plugin') Maven Eclipse plugin (a.k.a. m2eclipse | m2e) Originally, the question was "which of these plugins should I use? or both?"  The answer has always been that the Maven Eclipse plugin should be solely sufficient if you are using Eclipse as your IDE with Maven projects.  This plugin duplicated the only feature provided by "the other" plugin, thereby rendering it pretty pointless.  (But, to be fair, "the other" plugin came first and filled a need at the time) maven-eclipse-plugin Note:  As of 7/31/208 (maybe as far back as 5/28/2015), this plugin is RETIRED and no longer maintained. As its website states: The Maven Eclipse Plugin is used to generate Eclipse ID
