Hello Max,

If you have a structure like this:

root

my structure is a bit simpler, without nested submodules.

Okay, like this:

root
|--module1
|--module2

so fortunately this is not my case.

Generally, this still is the case. You MUST hide/delete the .project file in root so that Eclipse will allow you to add module1 and module2. It is the same issue, but you only have to worry about one level.

I have verified that the procedure outlined in this email thread works in Eclipse 3.2, as have others. If it isn't working for you, something is wrong.

Eclipse does not support hierarchical project  structures.

i thought eclipse 3.2 just introduced this new feature ...

Eclipse 3.2 does not support hierarchical project hierarchies. It was rumored that 3.2 would have such support before the release, but it does not.

The procedure in this email thread is just a trick to get Eclipse to accept having "overlapping" projects. This trick allows a hierarchical structure of Maven modules to be mapped into a flat structure of Eclipse projects.

IMO, moving your parent pom to a subdir is a better compromise than having all of your files show up two or more times in Eclipse.
of course, but this would break a well established maven convention, which
i'd like to avoid..

Moving the parent to a subdir is documented on the Maven site, and many people are using this technique successfully.

The Eclipse trick in this thread is not as clean, IMO.
