-The connector between AspectJ Maven Plugin and AJDT has not been maintained by the AspectJ team for some years, but

+The M2E connector is capable of importing build settings from AspectJ Maven Plugin (see section "Build tools / Maven"
+below).

+As of April 2024, AspectJ developer Alexander Kriegisch published a [fork of the project](https://github.com/dev-aspectj/m2eclipse-ajdt)
+and corresponding Eclipse update sites here:
+ * Eclipse 2024-03 (4.31): https://aspectj.dev/maven/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2024-03/
+ * Eclipse 2022-12 (4.26): https://aspectj.dev/maven/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2022-12/
+
+The project is only maintained on a best-effort basis, and not each update published has a proper new release version.
+If your snapshot does not update properly (Eclipse failing to calculate solutions for installation and saying that the
+plugin is already installed), simply uninstall the "Maven Integration for AJDT (Optional)" feature from Eclipse,
+re-start the IDE and install again from the corresponding update site.
+
+History: The connector between AspectJ Maven Plugin and AJDT had not been maintained for some years, but until 2023
+there was a fairly up-to-date [fork by Miika Vesti (joker1)](https://github.com/joker1/m2eclipse-ajdt) with the
+following update sites, which currently (April 2024) seem to be unavailable:
* Eclipse 2022-12 (4.26): https://repo.t5.fi/public/eclipse/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2022-12/
* Eclipse 2020-12 (4.18): https://repo.t5.fi/public/eclipse/m2eclipse-ajdt/eclipse-2020-12/
