How to integrate maven generated vaadin project into eclipse vaadin plugin?

Question

Eclipse Vaadin plugin has cool autobuild feature. Just clicking "restart application" in debug console will bring up to date application version to live.

Unfortunately importing maven generated vaadin project(using m2e) and copy-pasting .project buildCommands and natures from vaadin eclipse plugin generated project does not works.

I'm unnable to "Run on server...", tomcat does not deploy app for unknown reason. I can see app in wtpapps folder but it still does not deploys.

I have also stumbled upon this problem some time ago and eventually found this:

It eventually helped me to get up and running after a scenario that has been very similar to what you have described.
