M2E in VsCode (or terminal) as Apache Maven Eclipse Plugin has retired

Question

I have to update .classpath, .project and .settings for a Maven project in VS Code. I read that mvn eclipse:eclipse has been retired and I tried that but it doesn't gives me correct files.

How can I use M2E in VScode to regenerate these files? Or, how can I use M2E from the terminal (independent of IDE)?
