I noticed recently that if I open a Maven parent project, now all of its child projects open automatically. I'm not sure I like that, but I might get used to it. However, today I'm noticing that if I open one non-parent project which happens to also be in another project group, a bunch of other projects from that group (which may not be the one I'm working in currently) magically open. I can't believe this is a feature :-)
you must have triggered "Open required projects" checkbox in the project opening dialog. related to issue 210465, for maven projects "subproject" is fairly ambivalent term, we have a deterministic implementation for pom packaging projects -> <modules>, but for other packaging it's based on local repository (GAV) linking. That's very confusing and counter-productive in cases of multiple checkouts, but I think jglick claimed we cannot remove for backward compatibility reasons. issue 203222 also related.
Yup. Must have accidentally checked it. Yeah, I think subproject computation that was part of the weirdness, since it seemed fairly random. Maybe there should be an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button in the Open Project dialog? :-)

So that's why we need the multiple API contracts
