i installed m2e 1.0 latest version from here
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
i had to remove the old maven integration for eclipse, and the maven integration for eclipse WTP
after installing this latest version, and restarting eclipse, i found that the maven menu disappears from the right click on project, so i though that i need the m2e extras, but i couldn't found a compatible version, please advise.
The new Maven plugin uses different project metadata (due to the move to Eclipse foundation and new package names). So it doesn't recognize older Maven projects. You have to enable Maven for every project again to create the new metadata. To do this, right click on the project, choose "Configure" and then "Convert to Maven project". Now the "Maven" submenu should appear.
What version of Eclipse are you running? In the download page they are saying that m2e is tested against Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) and 3.7 (Indigo).
