[m2e-users] How to add a nature automatically using m2e?

[Benyi Wang <bewang.tech@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using Kepler and m2e 1.4.0.20130601-0317 and found I could not add a nature when I imported the maven project like this:

<build>

  <plugins>

    <plugin>

  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

  <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>

  <version>2.9</version>

      <configuration>

<additionalProjectnatures>

<projectnature>org.springframework.ide.eclipse.core.springnature</projectnature>

</additionalProjectnatures>

  </configuration>

    </plugin>

  </plugins>

</build>

I remember that it worked in Juno, but it seemed not working any more. No springnature is added unless I run mvn eclipse:eclipse to generate .project and .classpath.

Is something changed recently? Is it possible to add a nature automatically when a project is loaded or run "update maven project..."?

Thanks.
