Answer 1

I had a similar issue, and managed to install m2e using indigo update site: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/

• Go to help – Install new software.
• Add... pick a name with the above URL as Location.
• Once the list loads, under "General Purpose Tools", check "m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse ".
• Continue with the installation & restart.

Hope this helps.
