Another way to do this is to evoke the maven build as an "external program". That spawns a new java process, effectively a command line build.
It only requires a tiny bit of work. 1. Go to External Tools 2. Right click on Program, not m2 Build 3. Give it a name 4. In "Location", browse to the executable for the version of maven that you installed outside of eclipse 5. Select your working directory 6. In "Arguments" put the goals you want to reach. When you need to do a different type of build, right click on an existing one, select Duplicate, rename it and change the goals (and workspace, if need be).

Hi Marco, If I am not mistaken, this is a known problem with maven embedder that comes with m2eclipse plugin. It does not work with multiproject. However I guess this has been fixed in the main line of development. It's been a while since last time I saw that.
