I am using Maven to automate a project that is being developed in RAD 7.5.
I've installed m2eclipse in RAD 7.5 , updated ( manually ) maven dependencies , and it builds Maven way within RAD.
My main question : what is the best practice using m2eclipse with RAD?
Should we keep both ( RAD and maven ) settings in the project workspace or remove all RAD settings and stick with Maven only?
Also , I am wondering about m2eclipse dependency management feature. I was hoping that it will update pom.xml with the new dependency when I add it to the classpath and vise versa ( in case we are keeping both configurations ). Is this a correct assumption?
this doesn't seem to happen. Maybe I need to give it another try….
Any suggestions are very much appreciated!

The article "Java EE development using Rational Application Developer 7.5.5 and Maven" (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/rad/Articles) is OK but the site is wrong.
Since RAD 7.5.5 is based on Eclipse 3.4.2 you need to point here: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-e34/
