Description

For some reasons I have to add two projects to the same eclipse instance which use different local maven repositories. Using mvn eclipse:eclipse for both of them leads to a conflict as the generated .classpath files use the same variable M2_REPO to refer to the local repository. Currently I have to manually replace this name by a different one for one of these projects every time I have to re-execute mvn eclipse:eclipse. This is especially very error-prone (as it can easily be forgotten).

Therefore I would like to have a possibility to tell the plugin to generate a different variable name. This could be by passing a property to the mvn call, or to configure the plugin in the pom-file.
