             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core : Dependencies resolution and build path (.classpath)
    Affects Versions: 2.9
         Environment: NA
            Reporter: Christopher Redekop


The Eclipse plugin currently has a "workspace" configuration option.
This option directs the plugin to figure out
repo-artifact-to-Eclipse-project dependency substitutions by analyzing
the existing projects in the specified Eclipse workspace.

Rather than have the Eclipse plugin figure out these substitutions, I
want to directly configure the substitutions with a map of {dependency
(GAV) -> project}.  When the Eclipse plugin handles a dependency, it
can first check the map.  If the map contains an entry for the
dependency, then the specified project is used; otherwise, the
repo-artifact is used.

The old Maven 1 plugin had something like this, in the form of a "project" flag:
