How to perform Eclipse repository mirroring for offline installation Maven plugin?

I set up Maven for offline development, as described here - How do I configure Maven for offline development? Now I want to install Maven plugin for Eclipse in offline mode.

The plugin can be installed via online update site. But how to install it in offline mode? I tried to install it in the "Install New Software" menu so -

jar:file:/C:/plugins/apache-maven-3.1.0-bin.zip!/

Of course, it has given nothing.

As described here - Downloading Eclipse plug-in update sites for offline installation - and here - Equinox p2 Repository Mirroring - I can use a repository mirroring (update sites Eclipse plugins).

This code -

$eclipse_home/eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source $1 -destination $2
$eclipse_home/eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication -source $1 -destination $2

How can I use it to install the plugin Maven? What specify in the arguments $1 and $2?

I'm guessing that you want to install m2e (maven plugin for eclipse). You should be installing from the following update site:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases

So, assuming that you want to mirror it at C:\Eclipse\repos, the command will look like this:

$eclipse_home/eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication \
  -source http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases \
  -destination C:\Eclipse\repos
