This setup is just normal and works in m2e with Eclipse's workspace resolution. 
I can have an arbitrary graph of projects where the projects can be in source 
form or binary dependencies: everything is resolved from within Eclipse and I 
don't need the command line at all. I have worked like this for years and Igor 
has made many improvements over time to make it easier.

That said I am working with a customer where this type of workspace resolution 
we have in Eclipse we want on the command line. Ideally I want the behaviour we 
have in Eclipse to be available on the command line and in CI systems. The 
graph of projects you have in your IDE is probably not too dissimilar from a 
graph of projects you have in a CI system and you should be able to build them 
all in the same "workspace".

I basically always work in Eclipse for this reason and I never install anything 
until I want to try it all on the command line. Ultimately I hope not to have 
to install anything ever and maybe install can just go away at some point.
