[Solved]-Eclipse-Maven: Doesn't show Maven project from SCM-eclipse

in order to get the "checkout as maven project" functionality to work i have had to install the following:

from the eclipse marketplace:

1. maven integration for eclipse
2. subclipse

from the m2eclipse-extras update site (http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras/):

1. maven scm handler for subclipse

edit:

also make sure that your project explorer view is setup correctly. verify that your top level items are projects.
