Subject: [Biojava-dev] Cloning repositories in eclipse

When I first drafted the instructions for cloning biojava in eclipse<http://biojava.org/wiki/BioJava3_eclipse>,
I was frustrated that the simple 'Checkout Maven projects from SCM' doesn't work with our layout. The alternate checkout method is about 4 times as long and much less intuitive.

I had some time to debug the problem today, and it seems that the e2m-egit connector doesn't handle branches. It fails with a misleading message on any repository without a master branch. I've submitted a bug report, but I'm not optimistic about it getting patched quickly.

What proportion of BioJava users are using eclipse? Would fixing this be worth renaming one of the branches to master?
