FWIW, I ran the Java IDE package and did not get any console
message. I am running on Windows 32 bit.
Eric, shouldn't your concerns about m2eclipse be opened as a bug for
that project. It doesn't seem to be specific to a package?

When I ran the Java package with a clean

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=340312
Does that happen with other packages as well?
I tried the JEE package on OS X, but I don't think that package
includes m2eclipse.
I do remember from my experience with m2e about 2 years ago that
excessive console output was a major annoyance with it.
I also wonder if it's been discussed that including m2eclipse in
the Java package means that users will need to be using a JDK
instead of a JRE (last I saw, m2e doesn't work correctly without
a JDK and reminds the user of that every time at startup).
Forgive me if this was already discussed and I missed it; I'm
just concerned about the community side of things if all of a
sudden the Java package changes it's pre-requisites and the
intrusive UI that m2eclipse used to alert about it.

I just ran the Java package on OS X and didn't get any Console
logging from m2e. However, it did kick off a long-running
background job that's downloading somewhat large Maven repository
index files. I'm concerned about this behavior; as a user I'm not
too happy about software downloading large files into some unknown
location on my machine without prompting or asking first. This
might be expected by users who manually install Maven tools, but
in the scenario where I just installed Eclipse for Java
Developers, I don't think it should be doing that. I predict we're
going to get plenty of questions/complaints about this on the
forums.
If m2e is really to be included in the most popular Eclipse
package, can at least the setting that controls this behavior be
turned off by default?
