Why? It is always a good question to start with.

What Maven Repo are you using?
There is usually no need to have a project open in Eclipse to use the project's output (jar) in another project. Eclipse and Maven will automatically get the imported dependencies from any artifact that you declare as a dependency (including your own) in the POM.

We have 60+ Eclipse projects in our SCM but a developer would normally only checkout the ones that he/she is working on. The other dependencies would be loaded from our Nexus repo as Maven does the builds.

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a feature in maven which helps with the
following.

Suppose I have 20 projects in eclipse. The projects I'm not using I delete
from eclipse. But every now and then I need to import them and it's
dependencies.

Does maven have a feature in which you can say with mvn eclipse:eclipse I'm
working in this project create the dependencies for me automatically. When
I'm importing the project I want to work on and only import those projects
which are needed.
