1. The Premise: It's a MyEclipse Project

The premise behind Maven4MyEclipse is that first and foremost, it's a MyEclipse project.

What this means to the user is that it should work like any MyEclipse project has before, and with and without Maven. All the setups, the tooling, and general workability of the project should be as any other.

Thus if you neve ran a single Maven goal, your project would still work the same way.

Similarly, your MyEclipse tooling should never have any effect on the Maven or the running of it's goals.

The addition of Maven to a new project at creation time is accomplished with a single checkbox.
