I always recommend using M2Eclipse but the simple fact is that not everyone does use M2Eclipse

Sure, just as long as the auto import mechanism doesn't do something that confuses users. That's all I'm drawing attention to. So if someone has a large project and generated Eclipse project metadata with the maven-eclipse-plugin then it should not be imported using M2Eclipse by mistake. I think a user would just expect the right thing to happen if they used the detection mechanism. Probably not hard to add a bit of logic to make sure the correct behaviour is applied.
