This Eclipse plugin can be useful ( https://github.com/SciSysUK/m2eclipse-maveneclipse ).

One thing you can do with it is copy files, for example, copy prefs files for formatting to the Eclipse.settings folder. This is not ideal, but it does the job (I really will be interested in the best / alternative way to achieve this).

There is an example here: https://github.com/philwebb/springfaces/blob/master/springfaces/pom.xml . Please note that you can also use the url to post files somewhere
