ah, it is eclipse problem apparently which can be workarounded as documented here http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_plugin_execution_not_covered

[Igor Petruk]

Thanks for the post. I'll take a look to http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_compatible_maven_plugins, I hope it will help making the plugin compatible with m2e out of the box

[Piotr Morgwai Kotarbinski]

ah, that would be a great addition!
thanks for your work on this plugin!

[Igor Petruk]

You can try 0.4 version of the plugin now. You need M2Eclipse 1.1 from http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/milestones/1.1

[Piotr Morgwai Kotarbinski]

This is so awesome now!!
Not only I don't have to add some weird pluginManagement config, but also I don't have to workaround the problem that eclipse doesn't see sources generated by the plugin! Great, great, great!! :DDD
Once again many thanks for your terrific work!

[Igor Petruk]

Nice to hear. Thanks )
