There is nothing official from the Maven itself. There used to be competing Maven Eclipse integration from different people here, and there has always been the command line generation vs IDE integration. So there is no officially blessed integration from the Maven project proper.
Also note that M2Eclipse and the maven-eclipse-plugin are not compatible. In M2E it specifically looks for project files created with the maven-eclipse-plugin and disables them.
