Mark Hobson commented on MNG-827:
---------------------------------

Nope this hasn't been resolved yet.

I was proposing an eclipse plugin config property to customise the project name 
within the eclipse workspace.  This is to allow different versions of the same 
project to co-exist in eclipse (since project names must be unique in eclipse).

The problem is that a recent eclipse plugin patch dynamically links projects 
together within the workspace based on their dependencies and whether they also 
exist in the workspace.  This is done by assuming that the project name is 
always equal to the artifactId - which would obviously break down if it were 
customisable as I proposed.

Although handy, I'm not entirely convinced that dynamic project linking is the 
correct approach.  Especially as it can lead to differences between eclipse & 
maven compliation and currently does not support multiple versions of a project 
within the workspace (as detailed in the above comments).

Has anyone got any opinions on this?
