Try using the Eclipse STS from Spring.
It is Eclipse with all the bits and pieces that you need to do Maven and
most Java development.
This will save a ton of time every time you need to set up a new
workstation or upgrade an existing one.
You can use the Eclipse preference screens to manage and understand
where Maven is located and which .m2 folder is the "real" one.
It comes with tools to start a new Maven project with the right
structure and initial pom files.

Hi,
I am new to Maven, so need some help !!
I have started using by unzipping its binary.zip and setting the environment
variables and got the mvn -version executed successfully but after that none
of the command worked, probably because of setting.xml (not sure, please
clarify).
Then I got another idea and integrated the maven plugin in Eclipse Kepler
and got that successful too. Then I tried to create jsf archetype project in
eclipse, but I did not get the correct structure and facet option (though I
also tried to change the builder and nature in .project file).
Now I am confused, I want to use mvn plugin for eclipse and confusion is
does successfully integrating the maven plugin with eclipse is enough or
does env variable creation and unzipped maven folder are mandatory ?
And since I noticed about .m2 folder after two different tries so I am not
sure which one actually created it ?
Kindly help urgently!!
