Does that happen with other packages as well?
I tried the JEE package on OS X, but I don't think that package
includes m2eclipse.
I do remember from my experience with m2e about 2 years ago that
excessive console output was a major annoyance with it.
I also wonder if it's been discussed that including m2eclipse in the
Java package means that users will need to be using a JDK instead of a
JRE (last I saw, m2e doesn't work correctly without a JDK and reminds
the user of that every time at startup). Forgive me if this was
already discussed and I missed it; I'm just concerned about the
community side of things if all of a sudden the Java package changes
it's pre-requisites and the intrusive UI that m2eclipse used to alert
about it.

I just ran the Java package on OS X and didn't get any Console logging
from m2e. However, it did kick off a long-running background job that's
downloading somewhat large Maven repository index files. I'm concerned
about this behavior; as a user I'm not too happy about software
downloading large files into some unknown location on my machine without
prompting or asking first. This might be expected by users who manually
install Maven tools, but in the scenario where I just installed Eclipse
for Java Developers, I don't think it should be doing that. I predict
we're going to get plenty of questions/complaints about this on the forums.
If m2e is really to be included in the most popular Eclipse package, can
at least the setting that controls this behavior be turned off by default?
