I've done some searching, but haven't found any satisfactory answers:
what's the best Maven 3 plugin to use with Eclipse? Will the m2 plugin work satisfactorily? I understand M3 tries to be backwards compatible where it can, but there are some differences.
Anyone's experience would be appreciated!

M2Eclipse provides tight integration for Apache Maven into the Eclipse IDE with the following features: Launching Maven builds from within Eclipse. Dependency management for Eclipse build path based on Maven's pom. xml.
By "use install a Maven plugin and use it" I am sure you are looking for a Eclipse plugin that will perform Maven functions within the IDE. If so, M2E is a good choice. You will find a lot of help within the Eclipse installation once you install M2E.
The Maven Eclipse Plugin is used to generate Eclipse IDE files (*. classpath, *. project, *. wtpmodules and the . settings folder) for use with a project.
m2e is a popular Eclipse IDE plugin with stated project goal "to provide a first-class Apache Maven support in the Eclipse IDE".
A separate Maven plugin is no longer required. Maven 3 integration is built into the latest version of Eclipse (Indigo) by way of the m2eclipse plugin.
See the 'where is m2eclipse' article for more information.
