Just add this
<preGoal name="eclipse">
<maven:reactor
basedir="${basedir}"
includes="*/project.xml"
excludes=""
goals="eclipse"
banner="Building"
ignoreFailures="false"
/>
</preGoal>
to maven.xml. This will generate all the .classpath and .propject files
in subdirectories when you run maven eclipse from your top level
project.
Then import each of the projects (Eclipse by the way does not let you
import proejcts in bulk, so this bit will be an ugly one depending on
how many subprojects you have). Once done with that just create the set
in eclipse to include all the projects projects and you get a pretty set
of subprojects related to your project.
So it works with a little bit of work. What would definietely help is if
Eclipse had a bulk import of projects, rather than one at a time. The
rest of the procedures are fairly simple to do and do not take all that
long.
