There are a couple of mechanisms that exist in M2Eclipse for what we call 
materializing source or importing sources from an SCM.

Do you want to take the graph of a project and grab all the sources for all 
those projects so you can work on them all? It’s hard for me to tell what you 
want to do from your Github page.

I’m not sure if you know this already but you can click on a binary dependency 
in M2Eclipse and turn that binary project into a source project so that you can 
work on it. If you wanted to do it for all dependencies I’m sure we can figure 
that out but is that what you really want?
