I'm trying to figure out how to set up a maven multi-module project in my Eclipse.
Eclipse lists all all the project modules in a flat list, not nested, and each module is listed as a separate project, cluttering the workspace with dozens of projects, one per module.
So far I've managed to get around this problem by keeping each multi-module maven project in it's own workspace.
But this is starting to bother me, since I know this has worked in NetBeans for a long time, but not in Helios.
So, that's the question, is there no way to set up multi-module maven projects in Eclipse without having all the modules listed as projects in a flat list?

Depending on the source management system you use, you can checkout the
different branches using different names. Subversive allows you to
rename projects on checkout using paterns.
Besids that: nested projects in Eclipse is a very long standing issue. I
won't go into details here, but the whole discussions took and take
place in several bugzilla issues.

A nested view of projects is available in Mars, in "project explorer" (not package explorere the "Projects Presentation > Hierarchical" view menu.
However, this is only a graphical feature, not a change in the internal strucure of projects, so you'd still need to have different names for projects in case you have multiple branches loaded simultaneously in the same workspace.
