You mean using the "link to folder" feature of Eclipse? The problem is that this link needs to be installed into an existing project. Which one are you going to pick? You can't have a parent project because it would contain the children. So I guess you'd need to create a completely fake project into your workspace (as opposed to somewhere in your existing project). In any case that might not be that bad if the eclipse plugin would support it. Doing it by hand is too much work compared to having a single eclipse project. > FYI, Eclipse have decided that they want to allow such a project > structure (swayed by the WTP I believe), but that it won't happen until > after 3.2 (which I guess could mean up to 2 years before we see it as GA).

I've been using both IDEA and Eclipse since early 2002. I know exactly the strengths and weaknesses of each. I'd just like to use Eclipse for now and it works very well if I use a single project approach. BTW I have no issue with the single project approach which I really find the easiest (for refactoring, for newcomers, etc). However, as Maven is suggesting another approach and people keep asking me about why I'm doing it with a single project, I'm trying to find how it works... :-) > I'm using Eclipse now for a bit of a trial and I'm really hurting.

Let it be enough to say that I have been a happy IDEA users for several years (at least 2.5) and that I've now been a happy Eclipse user for the past 2 years. I haven't lost touch with IDEA though and I'm still trying it every 5-6 months or so, every time for a duration of a few weeks to 1 month (enough time to get used to the new features) and I'm still switching back to Eclipse every time. But I don't want to start an IDE fight... I'd just like to understand how Maven users (especially m2 users) are using the eclipse plugin efficiently.
