You can find the Maven Projects pane by going to Help > Find Action or press Ctrl + Shift + A and type in "Maven Projects". However I can't see it anywhere in the elaborate menu's.

Maven comes by default so you should press two times the shift key and write "maven".
Then import the maven project ".pom" and the bar cames automatically after selecting the pom.
