Hi Mickael,
Hi Anton,
If that API is to become a part of Platform UI, then I think there's 
no point in objecting to include an extension point for that in m2e.
I already foresee some necessary changes in this API. So it definitely 
tagets to be in Platform UI for 4.6, but probably not in its exact 
current state.
I took a quick look at your MavenProjectConfigurator and it checks 
that packaging is not 'pom'. Pom projects do need to be configured 
with m2e for it to be able to resolve parents, import-scoped 
dependencies from workspace among other things.
This is not a very optimal usage workflow IMO. In most cases, projects 
with packaging 'pom' don't contain much editable part, out of the 
pom.xml itself. They usually won't enable JDT nor any development 
tool, so I don't think this is good to need them to be Eclipse 
projects.
Why would you not want parent pom projects to be available in eclipse ?
