Looks like your parent project is just of pom type. In this case there wont be an eclipse project generated since there is not artifact to deliver. There are 2 things you can do:
1. Fire a feture request in JIRA so that simple eclipe project type is created from pom type porject. 2. Create a simple project in eclipse manually. Since it wont change (just a placeholder to hold other projects) you will be ok. Eclipse starting from version 3.3 is able to deal nested projects so you will be able to have parent and child projects in the same workspace easily. If you have an older eclipse you can create a separate workspace (I call it integration workspace) and work with the parent project from there.
