I like to use "Go Into" on the project node in the Package Explorer when I'm doing quite a bit of work on a single project. The problem is that this makes the project node disappear and there's no way to access the Maven project-level context menu.

A simple, intuitive solution would be to add the same context menu items to pom.xml that are presently on the project node. It seems natural that you should be able to do access project-level functionality by clicking on the pom file itself.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Install Maven Integration for Eclipse 0.12.1.20110112-1712
1. Create a Maven project in Eclipse.
2. In the Package Explorer, right click on the root node of the project and choose "Go Into".

The project node disappears and there is no way to access project actions such as "Update Project Configuration".
