Enabling maven on any clean "war" project will automatically enable 
support. By clean, it means that has not yet been configured in any 
other way.

You will need to make sure that IAM's Webtools support has been 
installed for this to work.

If you still can not make your war project perform as an Web Project, 
you can try removing eclipse metadata (.project, .classpath, .settings) 
and importing the project on the workspace using the Import Maven 
Project option.

Finally, let me clarify that IAM and m2eclipse are developed by 
different teams, so running eclipse:m2eclipse will not help.

Yours,
