eclipse maven m2e-wtp

I just installed eclipse 3.7.2 and was trying to get Maven plugins for it. I used Help->Install New Software and used this website to work with: http://download.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/releases/juno/ I waited for 4 items to show up including:

2) Maven Intgration for Eclipse

3) Maven Itegration for WTP

and clicked those 2 (middle items). To my chagrin, the result was this:

The operation cannot be completed.   See the details.
Details:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: m2e - slf4j over logback logging (Optional) 1.4.0.20130601-0317 (org.eclipse.m2e.logback.feature.feature.group 1.4.0.20130601-0317)

I saw that someone else saw this when they were on eclipse 3.6.2 and they no longer saw the error after upgrading to 3.7.
But, I would prefer to use 3.7.2 as it works well with other plugins that I need. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've had the same problem. The latest m2e plugin no longer works with Indigo (3.7.2)

However, there is an archive page here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_updatesite_and_gittags. This page has a list of old versions of the plugin. I just successfully installed version 1.0 SR2.
