Sure, but since they are built with Maven I think is safe to let it do its job :) I'll even go so far as to say that it is preferred, since you will much more quickly find errors and inconsistencies that might otherwise have eluded you, particularly if developing something that has frequent dependency changes (like a prototype Forge 2 :)

Anyway, no point to debate this. Just a matter of preference it sounds like.

it means you can no longer just do File > Import existing projects

Which is much faster.

Of course if your plugins now are 100% coupled to m2e that is a burden.

But generally we keep those files uptodate so you are not forced to use m2e in eclipse
(since for 99% of our plugins no maven is needed besides when running from cmd line)
