Maven AND Maven plugins are external tools... Basically, the maven plugins
are not made ??to be used from any IDE ! If you want to use them from an
IDE, you will need a specific bridge to connect them to the GUI...

Why not migrate to Indigo & M2e 1.0? You can still
- use a external version of maven from M2E
or
- launch the Maven commands from Eclipse
and
- use m2e to build your POM (main feature of the plugin).
