Hello,

I was trying to see if anyone knew the current state of "hide folders of
physically nested modules" (HFOPNM) or where the issue is capturing future
enhancements for it.  I am running m2e 1.0 in Eclipse 3.7 and I have the
HFOPNM checked.

I let's say I have a multi-module project checked out and I import these
using Import -> Maven Projects in eclipse

-- parent
------ child-a
------ child-b

In eclipse I (as expected after importing) see the following:

-- child-a
-- child-b
-- parent
------ child-a
------ child-b

If I (1) use ctrl+shirt+T to open a class then I only get one entry (again
as expected regardless of the HFOPNM setting since the nested folders aren't
Java projects to eclipse).  So that's good.  However (2) if I use ctrl+H to
search in the workspace then I get duplicate hits one in the top-level
project for the child and one in the nested folder.  Also (3) ctrl+shift+R
shows duplicate entries: one in the child project and one in the folder
under fuzzy-project.  Also, (4) Team synchronization is also duplicated.

These are four areas that come to mind that I have noticed that multi-module
projects cause some dissonance.  I realize this must be difficult
(especially team sync as I expect that to be handled by the SCM plugin).

So a few questions:
1- what is the expected behavior of HFOPNM?  And is that an issue
somewhere?  I found a JIRA issue from sonatype that seemed relevant but
there was no info on it.
2- It indicates that its "experimental" does that mean that there are future
enhancements to make it complete?  Or no one is sure if it works?
3- Are there any plans to improve this?  Is there an issue somewhere to
capture thoughts/requirements?

Thanks!
Steve
