The current version of m2e(clipse) in its default configuration (re)downloads 200Mb index file from Maven Central into my workspace, hanging IDE in the process. What is worse that it does that regardless of whether any projects in this workspace use Maven. I would not say that the issue is fatal, and it should not take a year to fix it, but judging just the current version I'd say it is not mature enough. Ant is surely easier to run and it comes with IDE by default. If one wants to convince me in using Maven - I would very like to see a release of Tomcat taglibs subproject. It looks we are stalled there.
