Perhaps I am misreading, but per:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/install-plugins-mojo.html
and
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Eclipse+Plugin
Or is this meant only for RCP applications and not for an actual Eclipse IDE?
Just curious…
Thx

Your second link Eclipse Plugin actually unpack an Eclipse IDE (the RCP edition).
So it is for any Eclipse IDE distribution like the ones listed in Helios packages.
