Doing a build is out of questions, opening of projects would be too slow. And it's a perfectly sound to assume that one wants to open just a single maven project from apache geronimo codebase without actually building the 200+ multiproject. Even with brutal performance hacks the 200 projects take about 10 minutes to open, while the single project is just a snap. I'm not sure what the "auto-reactor" feature in eclipse does, but in general and especially for large projects it's hard to figure automatically what the "reactor" is.. is it just the geronomo plugins pom, or we need all of geronimo, or just geronimo aspectj plugin parent? if you are the geronimo dev you might know, but will everyone figure that out?
