In your daytrader directory, run mvn eclipse:eclipse. This will create
the .project and .classpath files of the child modules with
dependencies for eclipse between them if necessary. Then, in Eclipse,
import your projects. If you want your parent pom.file easily
accessible from eclipse, make a symlink to it from one of the other
directories.
If your developers use a SCM from Eclipse (like subclipse) they will
not pickup any changes to the root directory. That's why we've setup
our environment to send mails when the root pom changes. (This was
often a pain in the butt, people not upgrading their parent pom)
I hope it is clear, if not, ask.

Has anyone come up with a decent way to setup a project in Eclipse

support a multi-module project? The best example I've seen is in the
"Better Builds with Maven" book (
http://www.devzuz.com/web/guest/products/resources#BBWM - Chapter 4)
but I'm
having some difficulty. The book is creating the "DayTrader"
application
and recommends the file structure that I've tried to describe below. It
also mentioned that this flat structure is the best and a "nested
directory
structure" has some drawbacks -- especially for Eclipse users.
daytrader
|
+--ear
| +...
|
+--ejb
| +...
|
+--streamer
| +...
|
+--web
| +...
|
+--wsappclient
| +...
|
+--pom.xml
Unless I'm missing something, this is a nested directory structure.
I've
tried creating "Java Projects" and "Simple Projects" in Eclipse for the
"daytrader". I've tried "source folders" for the ear, ejb... I
can't seem
to get this directory structure to work using Eclipse. Has anyone
found a
good way to make this work?
I'm a maven newbie but it seems that there is some incompatibility
between
one of the main IDEs (Eclipse) and Maven. If Maven is geared to a
particular directory structure and Eclipse to another, and you have
to have
major tweaks to Maven to make everything work, then you lose a large
percentage of the benefits of using Maven.
Hopefully I'm missing something easy on how to setup a project in
Eclipse.
