Aahhh I see it now ;-)

Yes exactly this is the problem in big projects. I have a multi-project
build with more than 50 ejbs and 3 different developers. I use binary
dependency builds with snapshots. This makes building only of the core or
only parts of the modules very fast. Each ejb, jar, war.... has its own
maven project and is part of the multi-project build.

When I now check out the complete trunk in the new Maven 2 layout I have all
ejbs (sub projects/modules) in one directory and when I start the
multi-project build all ejbs are generated with e.g. xdoclet. This takes a
long time and no advantage of the binary dependency build is available any
longer. 
The solution is now to delete all ejbs I do not need to develop only for
example a few modules. But this is not a fine solution to tell your
developers please check out the trunk and after this you're allowed to
delete this and this and..... It's nicer to say check out this core projects
and then the module you want to work with.

After a checkout from a project I use in Maven 1 the maven-eclipse-plugin to
generate .classpath and .project. Is this working with the new directory
structure too?

I hope my bad English can explain my prob clear enough?!
