With the m2eclipse plugin, you can at least manage the Maven dependencies declared in the pom.xml directly in your eclipse project and  then use all the traditional coding helpers and also activate the "automatic build" option. But at the end, you shall launch "mvn install" from the shortcuts provided in eclipse to compile/package/install... you can even deploy remotely from eclipse using maven...
Maven really makes lots of things easier even if it seems to you redundant with ant sometimes (in fact it uses ant:))

The Eclipse guide in not up to date. You can't build XWiki with ant
anymore. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building
