This is because the default behaviour for m-e-p is to set the classpath to workspaces and not jar files. If you flip this flag (check the m-e-p documentation) then the project's will be configured to point to M2_REPO locations. If you project does have external dependencies then you will get classpath entries like <classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/antlr/antlr/2.7.6/antlr-2.7.6.jar" sourcepath="M2_REPO/antlr/antlr/2.7.6/antlr-2.7.6-sources.jar"/> I'm not entirely sure what the anxiety over setting this value is.
