Eclipse multi module project dependencies

I have multi module java project as follows:

top_level_project

pom.xml

  (...)

  <groupId>a.b.c</groupId>

  <artifactId>myProject</artifactId>

  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <packaging>pom</packaging>

  <modules>

    <module>module1</module>

    <module>module2</module>

  </modules>



/module1

  pom.xml

    (...)

    <parent>

      <artifactId>myProject</artifactId>

      <groupId>a.b.c</groupId>

      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    </parent>

    <dependencies>

     <dependency>

        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>

        <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>

     </dependency>

    </dependencies>

  /src/main/java

  .project

/module2

  pom.xml

    (...)

    <parent>

      <artifactId>myProject</artifactId>

      <groupId>a.b.c</groupId>

      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    </parent>   

  /src/main/java

  .project

I used Eclipse Kepler & Luna.

Issue is slf4j dependency added in module1 is not recognized by eclipse(this is true for all dependencies). I checked Parent project -> Java Build Path -> Library where Maven dependency cannot be seen or added.

Also, right clicking module1 -> Properties, I don't have option of Java build path.

Parent project -> Java Build Path -> Source tab: I see folders listed as top_level_project/module1/src/main/java. I left default output folder at top_level_project/bin.

Project facet is Java 1.7.

Executing maven goals works just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

I found solution to this. Click on top_level_project. From menu, select File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Projects. Select module1 etc. and click OK.

What this does is add sub project in workspace at same level as top_level_project. I expect it to remain under top_level_project since module1 is sub project, but this solution works as module1 is recognized as Maven project and all Maven dependencies are included.
