Eclipse itself doesn't support nesting of projects.  If a project exists at /home/user/workspaces/foo then you can't create another project at /home/user/workspace/foo/bar.  This presents a problem with parent poms that are in parent directories.  The solution is to place the 'parent pom' in a sibling directory to all the referencing projects.

Hi,
 
I've installed the maven2 Eclipse plugin and it seems to work. But I have a maven project that contains nested modules under a top-level pom. When I try to build this using the Eclipse plugin it only builds the top-level pom, and does not build the nested modules.
I created my maven build manually before I installed the eclipse plugin. The build works fine from the command line and builds all nested modules.
 
Does the m2eclipse plugin support building nested modules? Do I have to configure this somehow?
 
Thanks,
Pete
