Eclipse multi module project dependencies

Question

I have multi module java project as follows:

top_level_project pom.xml (...) <groupId>a.b.c</groupId> <artifactId>myProject</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modules> <module>module1</module> <module>module2</module> </modules> /module1 pom.xml (...) <parent> <artifactId>myProject</artifactId> <groupId>a.b.c</groupId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> /src/main/java .project /module2 pom.xml (...) <parent> <artifactId>myProject</artifactId> <groupId>a.b.c</groupId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> /src/main/java .project

I used Eclipse Kepler & Luna.

Issue is slf4j dependency added in module1 is not recognized by eclipse(this is true for all dependencies). I checked Parent project -> Java Build Path -> Library where Maven dependency cannot be seen or added.

Also, right clicking module1 -> Properties, I don't have option of Java build path.

Parent project -> Java Build Path -> Source tab: I see folders listed as top_level_project/module1/src/main/java. I left default output folder at top_level_project/bin.

Project facet is Java 1.7.

Executing maven goals works just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does the project have Maven nature (little M in the top left corner of project icon)? Did you try <right-click-menu>->Maven->Update Project? — user3458

I found solution to this. Click on top_level_project. From menu, select File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects. Select module1 etc. and click OK.

What this does is add sub project in workspace at same level as top_level_project. I expect it to remain under top_level_project since module1 is sub project, but this solution works as module1 is recognized as Maven project and all Maven dependencies are included.
