Answer 1

As of Eclipse 4.5 (starting from Mars M5) subprojects are supported. Either import a multi module maven project like here.

Or create a directory structure like this.

BaseProj
----.project
----JavaSubProject1
--------.project
--------.classpath
--------src
--------JavaSubProject2
------------.project
------------.classpath
------------src

Use 'File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace' and import only BaseProj. It will import all projects. Be sure to activate hierarhical view in Project Explorer.

Later edit - When using import dialog, check 'Search for nested projects' otherwise only BaseProj will be created.
