It is the case with the pom Project type. Using mvn eclipse:eclipse will generate no eclipse .project file whatsoever. Community seems to work on that problem :
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-94 is the nice description of an issue.

Here is a small trick from the page above, which worked for me:

<build>
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
        <groupid>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupid>
        <artifactid>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactid>
        <configuration>
                <!-- Workaround for http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-94 -->
                <eclipseprojectdir>..</eclipseprojectdir>
        </configuration>
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
</build>
