I have installed m2e in my Eclipse Indigo, through the Eclipse market place.

Do I need to install maven explicitly and set the M2_HOME environment variable?

Thanks!

    No and no. m2e has an embedded Maven, but you don’t have to use it.

    See the FAQs about more details, it is called Maven Embedder:

    What Maven version is used by plugin

    Plugin is not actually using
    Maven     itself. It is using component that is part of Maven called Maven
    Embedder. This component is not available for Maven 2.0.x. The
    Embedder is used by the Maven command line interface (CLI) starting
    from version 2.1 that includes number of improvements to allow it to
    actually embed Maven.

    The m2eclipse is currently using the Embedder component from Maven
    3.0    . If you want to execute particular version of Maven installed elsewhere, you can do so from the Maven launch configuration or select
    it as default in Maven / Installations preference page.
