Good day to you, Steinar, You can use mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources instead ;)
mvn eclispe:eclipse will setup your .project and .classpath wherein the .classpath points to the binaries of your dependencies ( which are in your repo ). And with the -DdownloadSources=true property, the sources of your binaries would be included as well in your .classpath, thus enabling you to use F3.
