What is free Java IDE with the best Maven (esp. Maven 3) integration?

---

I would suggest Netbeans as it uses maven as its build system. i.e. the tightest integration. However other IDEs such as IntelliJ and Eclipse also have excellent integration.

NetBeans and IntelliJ don't need a plugin for Maven support.

Eclipse or NetBeans provide a good support for maven. (Eclipse with plugin) I found that the support for maven is in NetBeans better as it is in Eclipse. In Eclipse you need the plugin m2eclipse.

Since Eclipse Indigo the maven support in has really improved. note that the eclipse plugin is provided by "Sonatype" which support the maven project
