I don't need m2eclipse to work properly, I just need to remove m2eclipse for now and let eclipse behave normally. how do i do this?
Run Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details, select the software you no longer want and click Uninstall.
Once you have the Eclipse Marketplace dialog open, select the Installed tab as shown in Figure 2.15, “Selecting Maven Integration for Eclipse Components to Uninstall”. To uninstall either "Maven Integration for Eclipse" or "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Extras)", click on the "Uninstall" button next to each item.
Click Help -> Install New Software... Click Add button at top right corner. At pop up: fill up Name as "M2Eclipse" and Location as "http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases" or http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/milestones/1.0. Now click OK.
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.
Two solutions:
Remove the plugin through the list of installed plugins
(the illustrations are from the blog post "Install Eclipse UI Form Editor" written by Albert ATTARD):
The "about eclipse" menu will give you access to the list of installed Software:
You can click on the right application (m2eclipse for you, Jiglo in this example), and click uninstall, and restart eclipse.
A safer solution would be first to install a new fresh copy of Eclipse, and add your existing plugins (except m2eclipse): if that fails, you still have your previous Eclipse installation untouched.
