title: How can I build a maven project in Eclipse Indigo with m2e with a minimum amount of effort
body: <p>For the last few years, we've used m2eclipse without issue, however it seems that the "new" version (ie. m2e) has broken backwards compatibility - something that I really hope that I've just misinterpreted.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is this:  I'd like to be able to build my existing project with the minimal amount of fuss.  I don't have the time to write connectors for the 3 plugins that don't have them - my understanding of 2 of them is quite limited in the first place, and I have no understanding of the Eclipse plugin mechanism - but I'd still like to be able to use Eclipse to build the project. </p>
  
  <p>Can I achieve this without reverting back to the old (working) version m2eclipse?</p>
  
  <p>Am I correct in my understanding that there is no way to upgrade without having a connector for each plugin? </p>
