I am using Eclipse 3.51 along with Maven 2.0.x, and Maven Eclipse plugin. The file structure of the project I am working on is hierarchical.

Based on several sources, including this link (http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/eclipse/faq.html#hierarchical although the url indicates it is Maven 1), Eclipse does not handle hierarchical file structure very well.

Does anyone have a workaround or guideline for me to get a hierarchical structure to work in Eclipse?

Many Thanks

M2Eclipse can deal with nested projects. That seems to be a good workaround :)

I really like Maven Eclipse plugin because of its light weight and fast response. If I can't get it to work then I will go with m2.
@subferno I definitely agree with you but in that case, the recommended structure is a flat structure (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/examples/multi-module-projects.html), with all the drawbacks.
