[m2e-dev] How to properly configure m2e codebase in Eclipse?

["David M. Karr" <davidmichaelkarr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to get acquainted with the m2e codebase, initially for a 
somewhat trivial reason, as I know it does something simple with its POM 
editor view that I plan to implement in a different plugin.  At some 
point in the future, however, I'd like to work on some possible 
enhancements to make it a tiny bit easier for "other" kinds of 
developers to create projects that are Maven projects, without having to 
deal with some details.

Is there a "Developer's Guide" that describes how to properly configure 
the cloned repo in Eclipse for navigating and editing? I've imported all 
the Maven projects, but what I noticed is that Eclipse doesn't know they 
are Java projects.  Is there something simple I have to do for that?
