[m2e-users] Import Existing Support with Parent pom.xml in Project Root

[Alejandro Calbazana <acalbazana@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'd like to get some clarity around importing existing maven projects
into eclipse.  I am not able to successfully import projects that have
a parent pom.xml at the project root dir.  I am able to import the
modules successfully, but the parent pom.xml gets left behind.  This
is unfortunate as I am not sure if the projects are referencing the
parent pom.  While importing from a SCM, I notice that a parent
project is created behind the scenes for projects that have a pom.xml
at the root.  What are my options for getting my parent pom.xml to
import using the import existing functionality?

The motivtion for this is to use git.  I do not see any git support
for m2eclipse, so I am not sure where to go from here.  Additionally,
I would like to not have to modify my project structure.

Thanks,

Alejandro
