I don't think one needs it any more. The latest versions of Eclipse have Maven plugin enabled. So you will just need to import a Maven project into Eclipse and no more as an existing project. Eclipse will create the needed .project, .settings, .classpath files based on your pom.xml and environment settings (installed Java version, etc.) . The earlier versions of Eclipse needed to have run the command mvn eclipse:eclipse which produced the same result.
