Eclipse Indigo for Java EE + Maven plugin = the Maven menu does not appear in import and preference

Question

I have used Indigo Java (not Java EE) and the maven plugin is already installed. Or at least, I know I have the possibility to import a Maven Project without installing anything.

But then I wanted to use Eclipse Indigo for Java EE developers. This version does not have maven already installed. I can not import a maven project. So I decided to install the m2e plugin.

And I have tried to install it many different ways (information on theses sites):

I also tried to use the Eclispe market place for the installation of the plugins. The installation process does not fail. But the Maven menu in import and Windows->Preference does not appear inside Indigo Java EE?

NB: I am running Windows 7, 64 bit edition

Answer 1

Here's what I did in Indigo.

Go to Help>>Install New Software

Paste the below URL over there http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/

You will see a list below. From the list expand "Collaboration" and you can see m2e - maven integration for eclipse.

select that and click next. Got one error in between but it's working now.
