Failing to check out a maven project from github

[Ian Dickinson-3]

I'm currently trying to create a new maven project from a git
repository at github. The git: URL I'm using works fine if I issue a
'git clone' in the shell. But when I try to do New > Other > Maven >
Checkout Maven project from SCM, and select 'git' as the SCM URL and
enter my "git://github.com/..." location, I get an exception:

org.apache.maven.scm.repository.ScmRepositoryException: The scm url is invalid.
at org.apache.maven.scm.provider.git.AbstractGitScmProvider.makeProviderScmRepository(AbstractGitScmProvider.java:89)
at org.apache.maven.scm.manager.AbstractScmManager.makeScmRepository(AbstractScmManager.java:187)

at org.eclipse.core.internal.resources.InternalWorkspaceJob.run(InternalWorkspaceJob.java:38)
at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:55)

So far, I've not been able to find a permutation that would allow me
to check out a mavenized project from github, other than via the shell
(which is OK, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing wrong).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ian

PS JDK 1.6.0_20, Eclipse 20100218-1602, m2eclipse
0.10.0.20100209-0800, egit 0.7.1

There is currently no integration between m2e and egit and, generally,
m2e git integration is rather outdated (it uses some ancient maven-scm
git provider, afaik). I usually clone from cli and then use "Import
Existing Maven Project" wizard. Clone with egit may also work, but I
have not tried it myself.
