Hi,
> if I remember correctly Kepler comes with Maven out of the box.
See this chart for which Eclipse packages include Maven integration:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php?release=kepler
Personally I use the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" which comes with
support for both Maven and Git.
Or as Ron said you can use the Eclipse STS bundle (
http://spring.io/tools/sts), which comes with quite a few additional things
too.

Curtis
