Maven support is included in Eclipse Kepler. You can find it in the File -> Import screen as Maven -> Existing Maven Projects.

Eclipse Maven Import

Selecting a directory with a parent POM in it will prompt you to import all its children as well.

If you really want to go down thatroad check out this old school method with eclipse:eclipse and multi-module import plugin.

But I have a different suggestion. Remove all eclipse:eclipse generated files, download m2e (new versions of Eclipse already include it). Then just use m2e Import Maven Project feature. It will recognize nested pom.xml files and let you create separate projects out of the ones you choose to work with.
