Just glancing at the PR I think you will want more than the single activation criterion, that being the presence of a pom.xml file. There are still quite a few people who generate Eclipse metadata using the maven-eclipse-plugin so even though a pom.xml file is present they do not want the project imported with M2Eclipse.

Is this really a use-case we want/need to support? What are the good reasons for those people to not use m2e?
In case it's already an Eclipse project, those people can use directly "Import existing projects into workspace" if they don't want anything new to happen.
