The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Eclipse Plugin, version 2.10.

This plugin is used to generate Eclipse IDE files (.classpath, .project, *.wtpmodules and the .settings folder) for use with a project – if the M2E Eclipse-Plugin does not fit you.

This release is the last one supporting Maven 2.

You should specify the version in your project’s plugin configuration:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
