I have a better solution; when importing into m2eclipse, specify the
"name template" to include the groupId:artifactId.
Here's how:
1. File > Import
2. On the next dialog, Maven > Existing Maven Projects
3. On the next dialog
a) open up advanced, and for name template, select "[groupId].[artifactId]"
b) specify root directory
c) refresh
d) import
If you prefer to use mvn eclipse:eclipse to generate the
.project/.classpath, then it is (see [1]):
mvn eclipse:eclipse -Declipse.projectNameTemplate="[groupId].[artifactId]"
I'll add that configuration to the root POM.
Make sense?

Our naming policy has caused a problem in Eclipse where multiple
project with same name (eg progmodel) cannot be accommodated by it.
We have three POMs with the same artifcact ID, two of which are
Java/jar modules (the other is POM and doesn't seem to affect
things). The eclipse plugin uses the artifact name for the Eclipse
project name and therefore ends up with two projects with the same name.
Ideally we should change one of the module's artifact ID.
