Really, I tried to set up another slightly different scenario, this one:
A --> B --> C
where both B and C are defined as compile scope

At this point, running mvn eclipse:eclipse on project A, in Eclipse this
time I see in the "Referenced Libraries" also the jar of project C.

In the end, it was all a scope matter...

Thanks to all guys.
Best regards.
