I was wondering if IAM had good multi-module support.

Specifically my questions are:
- Is there multi-module support such that each module can be its own eclipse project and dependencies are properly handled?
- Is there support for things like dependency and plugin management within the parent POM?

yes, that's the default approach

you can import the parent pom project too and pretty much things will work.

The real issue with multimodule projects and eclipse is the lack of
support at the core for nested projects, a long time feature request in
the Eclipse community

Is there any documentation then for how do this?

I have the parent project in my workspace and then imported each child module as a project and it's definitely not working. In particular no child project seems to be able to see the parent POM so all of the settings there are completely ignored.

but what you talk about is probably because you don't have properly
configured relativePath (by default looks in the parent dir) in your
children poms

Thanks I got this to work. It wasn't the relative path thing. I was just using the standard filesystem import not the Maven2 importer.
