p.s. I missed this.
See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/reactor.html
Right towards the bottom is this

"Note, you have to delete the .project-file of your parent project
before. The result is the same as checking out the whole project from
the command line, running mvn eclipse:eclipse and finally importing
the projects into your Eclipse workspace. In both cases you will be
able to synchronize your changes using Eclipse."

Eclipse doesn't really support projects within projects, but by
deleting the .project file of the parent project you can then use
Import Existing and it will find the modules.
Don't worry about deleting this file, it is regenerated via Eclipse for you.
