Thanks Todd,
You pretty much covered the provided functionality. It is worth to
mention that <name> element is optional and we can't always rely on it.
Maven uses some derivation rules to calculate name based on artifactId
in case if name is omitted and as far as I know the name value is only
used by Maven to show on console during the build (personally I'd prefer
to see the artifactId and/or module names in there).
There is also Eclipse limitation, so any project located directly in
the Eclipse workspace folder must have the same name as that folder
(i.e. you have to rename folder in order to change the project name in
Eclipse). When you add that on top of Maven best practice to name module
folders to match the artifactId, it leads to the chosen default to use
the artifactId as a project name.
Anyways, if you still want to be able to use the <name> element in the
project name template, please submit an enhancement request to the
project issue tracker at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE
regards,
Eugene

When you import, there is a little "Advanced" expansion button. Click on
that and you can see "some" options to change the name of your imported
project so it doesn't just default to the artifact ID. You can include
other things like the group and version.
There is no option to use the "name" tag though. Perhaps this element
can contain special characters that eclipse doesn't allow?

Subject: [m2eclipse-user] Project name
Hi
If I import the following pom:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<artifactId>my-parent</artifactId>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</parent>
<groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
<artifactId>web</artifactId>
<packaging>war</packaging>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<name>MyCompanyWeb</name>
...
</project>
I want my eclipse project to use the name "MyCompanyWeb".
Instead I get the folder name "web" for my eclipse project.
The path looks like this:
parent (parent pom.xml)
|
|
\-------web (MyCompanyWeb pom.xml)
In the parent pom.xml I reference to my subpom like this:
<modules>
<module>web</module>
</modules>
Have I misinterpreted the meaning of the <name>-tag?
