I have just started to explore
Maven for
Java and I am using Eclipse.
I understand that Maven can be used as a standalone application (mvn.exe) and also I noticed that there is an Eclipse plug-in called "M2E" that could be used via Eclipse
IDE.
Could someone please mention:-
1) If, in practice, Java/Eclipse developers use Maven (mvn.exe) or a M2E? What is the best practice?
2) It seems that using M2E might be slight more convenient that using the command-line mvn.exe. Is there any features/functionality that I lose if I use M2E rather than Mvn.exe?
Thanks
