Description

When creating an ear-project with maven-eclipse-plugin 2.7, the created file .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml is incorrect.

This is the content of the generated file:
<faceted-project>
<fixed facet="jst.ear"/>
<installed facet="jst.ear" version="5"/>
</faceted-project>

The correct content should be:
<faceted-project>
<fixed facet="jst.ear"/>
<installed facet="jst.ear" version="5.0"/>
</faceted-project>

So version should be '5.0', not '5'.

Investigation of the code showed that the way the plugin detects the version is flawed. When dependency javaee:javaee-api with version 5 is used, this 5 is put in the file.
