not following you about "rotate the view".

Making m2e (or any IDE) support *everything* that mvn can do in the console
is simply not possible. Neither is it possible to make mvn support everything the IDE can do.

There is a balance to be found.

And as I outlined it different IDE's does it differently - I believe m2e's approach by its core is currently the better approach since it enforces awareness of the lacking pieces and as it grows those errors (which I still would prefer to be warnings) will be reduced to a set of very few inherent IDE incompatible maven plugins.
