Description

I'm willing to update Eclipse m2e to take advantage of the ProjectBuilder.build(List<File> project, boolean, ProjectBuildingRequest) to avoid duplication of MavenProject in the IDE caused by ProjectBuilder.build(File singleFile, ProjectBuildingRequest).

It's already measured to have drastically good impact on the IDE, as explained in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=515668#c20 and https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=515668#c38.

However, using this cause regressions because the multi-projects entry-point method seems to totally ignore the ProjectBuildRequest.isResolveDependencies() flag and never returns a valid list of MavenProject.getArtifacts().
