With maven, I might do something like this:
 project/
   pom.xml
   .git/
   module1/
     pom.xml
     .git/
   module2/
     pom.xml
     .git/

The same projects in an eclipse workspace, might look something like
this:
 workspace/
   module1/
     pom.xml
     .git/
   module2/
     pom.xml
     .git/

Or perhaps something like this (if the parent also has common settings I
would like easily editable).
 workspace/
   project/
     pom.xml
     .git/
   module1/
     pom.xml
     .git/
   module2/
     pom.xml
     .git/

If the project was to be only edited with emacs, I would go for the top
layout, however if I was to edit the same projects in both emacs and
eclipse, it should handle the latter two layouts as well (though the
bottom one doesn't work too well with command line maven).
