While importing projects into Eclipse, the Maven Integration supports "name templates", e.g. "[groupId].[artifactId]-[version]", which simply refer to the elements of the same name in pom.xml.

Using "[name]" should do the same. However, it currently results in a project name of literally "[name]", without referring to the <name/> element in pom.xml.

Please correct me if I'm going down the wrong path here, but I treat "groupId" as a namespace, and "artifactId" as a "system name". Combining them with "version" results in a proper "finalName" for .jar file names, etc. (By default, the finalName is ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}.) "name" is more of a display name, and should be allowed to be used in the name templates if desired.

https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-897 would be an alternative option, using the name defined in Eclipse's .project file if it exists.
