When working with multiple projects all working together, you used to be able to add the property: <eclipse.dependency>true</eclipse.dependency> to a dependency and the eclipse plugin would reference the dependency as and eclipse project instead of a jar in the repository.
That feature doesn't seem to have made it into the m2 eclipse plugin or at least is not documented... so how do I specify that a dependency should be referenced as a project? - Brill Pappin
