> Every Maven modules are currently listed in alphabetical order in the Projects window. When we mount two or more multi-modules projects, the modules from various projects are interleaved, which is quite confusing. Things get worst when different projects contain modules with identical name. Real world example: GeoTools and GeoServer are two open source multi-modules Maven 2 projects, and both of them contain a module called "main". Those two projects share a common pool of developpers, who often work on both projects in same time. Opening those projects with current Mavenide gives Projects window like below (simplified list):
> {noformat}
> Projects
>  +-- Main module
>  +-- Main module
>  +-- Metadata
>  +-- Referencing services
>  +-- Web Map Service Module
> {noformat}
> A would like the ability (as an option) to get a tree view like below:
> {noformat}
> Projects
>  +-- GeoServer
>  |    +-- Main module
>  |    +-- Web Map Service Module
>  +-- GeoTools
>       +-- Main module
>       +-- Metadata
>       +-- Referencing services
> {noformat}
> where "GeoTools" and "GeoServer" are the name found in parent {{pom.xml}}.
> I'm aware of NetBeans 6 "Project Groups" feature, but this request is not about opening and closing many projects as a unit. It is about keeping all those projects open (because we work on all of them together) while preserving their grouping in order to make easier to navigate through the quite numerous GeoTools/GeoServer modules...
