Description

In my workspace, I have a multi-module project A with A1, A2 modules.
I also have another multi-module project B with B1, B2 modules.

A1 has a dependency on B1 and I'm using 'useProjectReferences' (true) and A2 depends on A1.

When I'm doing "mvn eclipse:eclipse" on A, the result I want:

A2 references workspace project A1
A1 uses repository artifact B1 (not the workspace project)

Is there a way to limit 'useProjectReferences' only to modules? Or listing the projects to reference?

The reason I want that is because I had weird behaviour on versions:

A1 depends on C version 2.0
B1 depends on C version 1.5

and the version of C taken during runtime of A1 is the one from B1 (1.5) instead of 2.0 version.
