You can also set this in you $HOME/.m2/settings.xml
<properties>
<downloadSources>true</downloadSources>
</properties>
so that you don't have to set -D... everytime you launch eclipse:eclipse

> files (as well as some other eclipse stuff), in all projects with
> packaging jar, and others it knows about that are eclipse relevant.
>
> When invoked over a multi-project it, by default, creates project
> dependencies between the projects it generates eclipse files for. For
> projects outside of the invocation, and jar dependencies, it creates
> .classpath references into the local maven repo.

> If it finds source-jars together with the jars in the local maven repo,
> it will add them to its sources.
