This last step doesn't sound right, here Eclipse is creating a brand new
Maven project for you instead of creating a Maven-based project from the
metadata already in subversion.

In the SVN window you should see "Check out as Maven Project" when you
right-click, unless that has changed with newer versions of the maven
plugin.
