[m2e-users] Eclipse 3.7 with m2 Feedback

Hi, 
I've tried Eclipse Plugin 3.7 and M2E (M2E Eclipse 1.0.0) and find 
that for normal use it is not acceptable: 

Problem number 1:  Life cycle 

M2E plugin in Eclipse 3.6 has all the extensions of life cycle without a problem 
taken. Now we should make all POM M2e-dependent with 
one: 

<pluginManagement> 
     
<plugins> 
       
<plugin> 
         
<groupId> org.eclipse.m2e </ groupId> 
         
<artifactId> lifecycle mapping </ artifactId> 
         
<version> 1.0.0 </ version> 
         
<configuration> 
           
<lifecycleMappingMetadata> 
             
<pluginExecutions> 
               
<pluginExecution> 
                 
<pluginExecutionFilter> 
                   
<groupId> some-group-id </ id> 
                   
<artifactId> some-artifact-id </ artifactId> 
                   
<versionRange> [1.0.0,) </ version range> 
                   
<goals> 
                     
<goal> some-goal </ goal> 
                   
</ Goals> 
                 
</ PluginExecutionFilter> 
                 
<action> 
                   
<Execute /> 
                 
</ Action> 
               
</ PluginExecution> 
             
</ PluginExecutions> 
           
</ LifecycleMappingMetadata> 
         
</ Configuration> 
       
</ Plugin> 
     
</ Plugins> 
   
</ Plugin management> 

Why? And that's not acceptable. I have seen many over 
read and can only say one: - the people are unhappy!! In other 
Java tools works it better (NetBean, IntelliJDEA). You can ignore it, but 
no Java tool is used without Maven. This is solved 
be. 
  
Problem number 2:  Maven and Spring IDE. 

I installed Spring IDE 2.7 with the Maven support in Eclipse 3.7 and M2E 
was gone :(. 

So wait and stay on Eclipse 3.6, or other Java tool 
use.
