You need to add additional source folders by using the build-helper-maven-plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/build-helper-maven-plugin/). Then the maven-eclipse-plugin happily add all your source folders to eclipse's project configuration. Also another hint on handling larger project setup with many submodules and maybe independent project side by side. In my last project to keep all my projects and submodules (40+) synced with eclipse I put all projects and multiprojects in the same subversion trunk and thus the same working folder in parallel subfolders. in the working folder's root I established a "bootstapper"-pom which included all projects as submodules. the project's parent pom resided in a parallel subfolder next to the projects as well. Also this parent-pom was included as a submodule by the bootstrapper-pom. With this setup we were able to invoke any maven commands on all projects at once. -Stefan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
