Description

Trying to do a fresh import of branch-2 nets some errors..

It seems like a previous change I made to clean up errors (HBASE-13236), specifically adding the maven-compiler-plugin lifecycle mapping for m2eclipse, is now causing Eclipse to not compile HBase as Java8. Removing the lifecycle mapping fixes this.

I assume this only needs to happen for 2.0.

I keep having issues with the JavaNature being ignored. Not yet sure if this is a result of something we're doing wrong (or just Eclipse being Eclipse).
