It's also worth noting that M2E has a mailing list as well which can be
quite helpful for troubleshooting eclipse-maven specific issues.

Lastly remember that eclipse has maven 3.0.4 bundled into it. You can add
additional older or newer maven runtimes to eclipse if necessary, similar to
the way you add additional JRE runtimes, server runtimes etc.

Best regards,

Richard

Richard's description is much better than my cryptic note.
Once you have the project set up properly all the cute little red "X"s go
away since Eclipse and it editors finds everything it needs from the
information in your Maven pom.
The integration is very well done and causes no grief or extra work as you
work.
