Maven Modules are different beast, as they are suppose to have a parent in their hierarchy, if you use Maven
you are already understanding what the differences are.

You can get in troubles if you try to make a lot of maven projects in eclipse, although it may seems natural to do so. A lot
of people have gone that path, and this may work if you use the relativePath trick

• parent (contains the super pom)
• common-api, reference the parent using the <relativePath>../parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
• common-core reference the parent using the <relativePath>../parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
• common-spring reference the parent using the <relativePath>../parent/pom.xml</relativePath>
• services-api   ...you get the idea
• services-core
