As I was saying before, this technique was an established crutch to help
Eclipse deal with Maven in the pre-m2eclipse days. Eclipse cannot have
nested projects. Therefore, when you use eclipse:eclipse, the parent gets
excluded from your Eclipse workspace and you can't edit the pom.xml file
there or use the Team support for SVN update. So, developers established
this workaround by positioning the parent adjacent to modules so everything
makes it into Eclipse.

But now that m2eclipse allows for nested projects, we don't need this
workaround.
