Stefan, +1 for MevenIDE; I use it on Eclipse and find it quite useful for all the reasons Johnny mentions.
You can create .project and .classpath files for Eclipse in a Maven/AndroMDA project (or any Maven project) with the Eclipse goal (e.g., "maven eclipse"). You can then import the .project file into Eclipse (File > Import > Existing Project Into Workspace...). Once imported, your repository-based jars are linked in via the MAVEN_REPO variable. If the eclipse goal doesn't set that for you (and I couldn't get it to do so), you need to point the MAVEN_REPO variable to the location of your local Maven repository (Project > Properties > Java Build Path, Libraries tab, "Add Variable" button). Even after your project is imported into Eclipse, subsequent invocations of "maven eclipse" will update the project; all you need to do is refresh the project in Eclipse and any new dependencies will appear as libraries.
