[m2e-users] Using Maven 3.1 with m2e 1.4

[Roberto Sanchez Herrera/Mexico/IBM <rsanchez@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 
Can I use maven 3.1 or newer with m2e
1.4? I know that m2e 1.4 has the embedded version 3.0.4, and that there
are some incompatibilities between Maven 3.0.x and 3.1, including the changes
in Aether [1]. I also know that embedded Maven 3.1 [2] and 3.2 [3] were
included in m2e 1.5.   What would happen if I add an external Maven
3.1 or 3.2 installation to m2e? (Window > Preferences > Maven >
Installations?  Is this something that would work with some limitations?
Or would not work at all?

On the other hand, can m2e 1.5 work
with older versions of Maven? for example, if I add Maven 3.0.4 installation
to m2e.
