Re: [m2e-users] How to add a nature automatically using m2e?

[Igor Fedorenko <igor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

m2e and maven-eclipse-plugin use two drastically different approaches to
maven/eclipse integration and can't be used together for the same
workspace project. You have to choose one or another. This has never
worked. Not sure why you think it did.

I know there is some m2e support in STS, so I suggest you ask on their
user forums to see what's their recommended way to enable spring support
for m2e projects.
