John Allen commented on MECLIPSE-289:
-------------------------------------

I gotta say this is a very good idea for reasons that go beyond screen clutter.

Using a container like this would give a very good indication to users of the project that they, well the IDE actually, are not in control of the dependencies listed within it and instead a third party, in our case Maven, is the manager of those dependencies. 

Plus of course seeing:

* JRE System Library
* Maven Dependencies

In my project explorer is much better than the 40 odd jars I have now :)

> to avoid multiple lines in the package explorer, it would be nice to add a container to the .classpath file, containing all the Maven2 dependencies.
> <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.maven.ide.eclipse.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER"/>
> instead of adding each dependency separately, all dependencies would be added within this container.
