He instalado Eclipse Indigo SR2 EE:

Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Indigo Service Release 2 
Build id: 20120216-1857

e incluso después de instalar m2e desde Marketplace, no tengo ningún elemento de menú de Maven en Archivo-> Importar, Archivo-> Nuevo-> Proyecto ..., o Ventana-> Preferencias.

Estoy realmente confundido. Estoy en una máquina Fedora 17 x64 - y miotro La máquina Fedora 17 x64 en el trabajo funciona bien con la misma versión de Eclipse.

m2e se muestra claramente en "Software instalado":

  m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse   1.0.200.20111228-1245   org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group   Eclipse.org - m2e

... y aparece en un informe de configuración. Sin embargo, es completamente invisible en la interfaz de usuario, y me está volviendo loco.

ACTUALIZAR: Hay algo en el registro de errores que puede ser significativo, al menos, está relacionado con m2e. Ver-consolelog aquí o pasta abreviada cerca del final del post.

Soy bastante nuevo en Eclipse, así que probablemente estoy haciendo algo estúpido, pero sea lo que sea, Eclipse podría hacer más obvio lo que está mal.

Esto no es lo mismo que"Eclipse Indigo para JAVA EE + complemento de Maven = el menú de Maven no aparece en la importación y preferencia"; su m2e no se instaló correctamente, esto se muestra como instalado y Eclipse no lo reinstalará porque ya está instalado y por lo tanto aparece en gris en "Instalar nuevo software ...".

No se emiten errores en stdout / stderr cuando Eclipse se inicia desde la línea de comandos.

Estoy usando:

java -version
java version "1.7.0_b147-icedtea"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.1.fc17.6-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode)

que funciona bien en la estación de trabajo en el trabajo.ls -d plugins/*m2e* muestra:
