yes importing the project in eclipse has this slight flaw currently. I
never bothered that much, as it seems more an eclipse flaw and I don't
import it again every day.
But indeed Davide makes a point in that it seems common across many
JBoss projects to have a "project-name-core" named main module.
Infinispan names it just "core".

It would be fine for me to rename it, assuming it doesn't create a
mess when backporting patches?
