I've seen that others have had this problem where Maven doesn't show up for them in Eclipse after installing the m2e plugin, but most of the solutions seem to suggest doing something like "Configure>Convert to Maven." But Maven is not showing up for me in the Configure list, nor is it showing up in Console>Open Console or the File>New list. I see some solutions refer to editing the project's classpath, but I don't have a clear understanding of how to do that. I'm trying to begin working through a book on Java EE7, and it uses Maven in the examples. Can someone help?

Check the .log file in the .metadata folder in your workspace folder. Delete the .log file and then restart Eclipse using the -clean option. If maven doesn't appear in the UI the look at the .log file for hints of why maven couldn't be loaded.
