Hi,

We got hold of a project in our company that uses Maven. I have been going 
through the code and Maven. The problem is that the previous team that had 
the code was new to Maven and all the plugin usage and fixes that are in 
place were the workarounds that came to their mind first. I have noticed a 
lot many places where better code and newer plugins can be used as well as 
the build as of now seems too complicated but working. They also seem to 
have developed their own maven plugins for activities such as ssh transfer 
of the build to a server location and such stuff. 
The biggest problem is there is no documentation, neither with the code 
nor in the code. :-(
The current layout of the code is something like...

Project1
         |
         ===> pom.xml
         ===> module 1
         ===> module n
Project2
         |
         ===> pom.xml
         ===> module 1
         ===> module n
Project3
         |
         ===> pom.xml
         ===> module 1
         ===> module n

The current procedure is to include all the three in a single workspace in 
eclipse and work with it. I have the maven plugin for eclipse installed 
but no idea how am i going to use it in this scenario.
I'm thinking of proposing a complete makeover of the code but due to time 
issues this is a low priority thing. Also I was thinking if all the three 
can be clubbed under a single project with a pom.xml...
I don't have any idea about the last statement that I have written. 

Could anyone please give some directions as to what ways can I go about to 
organize the code.
