[news.eclipse.technology.m2e] Writing plugin using "Plug-in Development"

["klm" <ddd@xxxxxxx>]

I need to write plugin for the eclipse platform (adding a button to 
workbench etc.). I have looked at:

http://www.vogella.de/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html

But since I am using Maven I was considering to use:

http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-plugins.html

But is that primary used for maven related plugins and not for plugins to 
the eclipse workbench?
