I’ve installed Subversive as my Eclipse subversion connector, and don’t like Subclipse for one bit (having to update after a commit is weird for a workflow). The decision of m2eclipse to hardcode a dependency on Subclipse baffles me. Now nobody is able to use m2eclipse with git, cvs or any other SCM. This renders the m2eclipse support complete and utterly useless. Fail.
Subclipse does not require you to update after a commit. It simply had a feature that let you know your local folders were out of date with the server. If you do not know that and you try to rename them, your commit will fail. It was always a preference to turn this off and in the current release it is off by default.
I am virtually certain that m2eclipse is not hardcoded to Subclipse. I recall that it even supports Subversive. Are you sure this is not a case of needing to expand their update site and deselect their Subclipse integration plugin? We have this problem all the time with Subclipse and users thinking they have to install Mylyn and Buckminster to use Subclipse. We simply host plugins that integrate with those tools — if you have them installed.
Little research on nabble I came up with this.

Wonder were that code went?

Why do you have to update after a commit? (I use Subclipse all the time.)

The complete ignorance
. As Mark Phippard says the updating in subclipse is an option. And subversive has the exact same option, only it is turned of by default. And no, m2eclipse has no hardcoded dependency on subclipse, I use it without sublcipse.
