The maven-eclipse-plugin does a great job of wiring inter-project things
together. If someone files a bug report with a maven based test case, it's
great cause I just need to do "mvn eclipse:eclipse" and it's all wired up to
the projects I already have in my workspace so debugging is quick and easy.
That said, you DO need to tell it where your workspace is. You can use the
-D flag on the command line if you want. For me, I added a activeProfile to
my settings.xml:
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>extra</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
<profile>
<id>extra</id>
<properties>
<eclipse.workspace>/home/dkulp/working/workspace</eclipse.workspace>
</properties>
</profile>
So that the workspace location is always set and eclipse:eclipse can always
find it.
