Request to add a setting to display the artifactId in maven explorer

[qzi]

Suggestion

Request to add a setting to display the project name as <artifactId></artifactId> in maven explorer, although it display the <name></name>

Use Cases

In the Java extension pack from Red Hat, they use artifactId to distinguish project in multiple-root workspace. we have to change the artifactId in multiple project in workspace. But in the mean time, maven explorer display the <name> only, if the maven extension can set to display the artifactId, too. it should be perfect that we need not change the <name> but < artifactId>.

Examples

You can see that if we can display the artifactid, we needn't too wide to distinguish different projects and order it better

Use setting maven.explorer.projectName. We should update README accordingly.

So what do you want it to show if we support customization?

@Eskibear Can we identify the project using folder name + artifactID and also give us a option to display the folder name?

Currently this plugin identify multiple root projects using artifactID. not robust enough
