So we have a flat layout for the multi-module build with the maven and
eclipse project files checked in.
The eclipse project files are in version control, because we have some other
eclipse plugins pre-configured for the projects.
Can you give us an example of what kind of plugins are configured there?
I would suggest to contact those plugin authors to provide project
configurators for m2eclipse that can be implemented using our project
configuration framework.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Extensible+project+configuration+framework
So what is the best way to checkout the whole project with m2eclipse and
subclipse?
With flat layout it is easy. You can just select all your project
folders under trunk and use regular checkout operation.
I know m2eclipse provides the function "Checkout as Maven project", useful
for checking out "pure" maven projects from version control.
m2eclipse will create the eclipse project files and also provides a template
for project naming.
Can this function be used in our case, too?
Sure.
Will it override or modify our version-controlled eclipse project files?
Yes. This feature won't use Eclipse project files.
We have been considering to use existing Eclipse files when importing
projects, but it haven't been implemented. Feel free to submit an
enhancement request for this to the project issue tracker at
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE

Eugene
