I really like the new import wizard, feels much more snappy for my typical 10+ 
module projects.

Subject: [m2e-users] Improved "import maven project" workflow in m2e 1.5.0

Hi,

we've made some drastic changes in the way the "Import Maven projects" workflow 
in m2e 1.5.0 [1]. Previously, when selecting a directory of projects to import, 
m2e spent a huge amount of time analyzing potential lifecycle mapping errors 
and discover potential fixes from remote connectors, before you could even 
choose which specific projects to import.


That lifecycle mapping analysis has been deferred to *after* projects are 
imported and it only checks for *actual* errors now, before trying to discover 
the world. The discovery mechanism itself has also been greatly optimized.

It means the 1st page of the maven import wizard can now refresh in less than a 
couple second (usually << 1s), instead of up to several minutes. 
One caveat is it won't try to discover connectors that for plugins whose 
lifecycle is already covered. ex: the mavenarchiver plugin won't be proposed 
for download if the maven-jar-plugin has no errors.

The lifecycle mapping discovery refactoring led to a few internal classes to be 
deleted or changed in a non backward compatible way, so if you built some m2e 
extensions over these, you might be badly affected. Check [2] to see the extent 
of the changes.

So, please, give the latest dev build a try [3] and let's know how good or bad 
the changes are from your perspective.
