m2e is :

m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse	1.3.1.20130219-1424	org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group	Eclipse.org - m2e

And it's Eclipse Juno SR2 with everything updated.

And the project error in workspace is:

Project build error: Unknown packaging: container-plugin	pom.xml	/TestBundle	line 15	Maven pom Loading Problem

Here is the META-INF/plexus/components.xml of the plugin that provides that packaging type. (I have replaced company specific stuff with foo.bar here to be on the safe side). It is an OSGI bundle building plugin:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  </components>
</component-set>

I also include the META-INF/m2e/lifecycle-mapping-metadata.xml for the same plugin:

<lifecycleMappingMetadata>
  <pluginExecutions>
    <pluginExecution>
      <pluginExecutionFilter>
        <goals>
          <goal>generateSources</goal>
        </goals>
      </pluginExecutionFilter>
      <action>
        <execute>
          <runOnIncremental>false</runOnIncremental>
          <runOnConfiguration>true</runOnConfiguration>
        </execute>
      </action>
    </pluginExecution>
  </pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
