Can I use the version of Eclipse IDE provided as part of CS Portable Apps?

No. The version of Eclipse IDE provided as part of CS Portable Apps is an old version which does not support the m2eclipse plugin. We suggest you download a copy of the latest version of Eclipse (Kepler) from http://eclipse.org. The version you should download is "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers".

I can’t see the .m2 folder mentioned in the tutorial for configuring Maven.

Don’t worry. If you do not already have a ".m2" folder, you can simply create one and place the new settings.xml file inside.
