Now we can close multi-module maven project by selecting projects and selecting `Close Projects` in right-click context menu. 

This is not convenient. We should provide a `Close it and its sub-module projects` option in context menu.

Maven support is not provided by Eclipse Platform, it is provided by the M2Eclipse. Move the request to there, or update the summary.

What Eclipse Platform does support is Working Sets and Nested Projects. You can define your own Working Set and add all the maven modules to the same Working Set. When you right-click on the Working Set, you can close all projects in one go. 
To make configuration easier, Oomph provides dynamic Working Sets, https://wiki.eclipse.org/Dynamic_Working_Sets

The Project Explorer offers to show projects in a nested way. In that case, closing the root project will not close the child processes. It might make sense to have an option to close nested projects.
