Description

• Create a pom.xml that uses the <additionalConfig> tag to add a .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs file to your project.

• In the same pom.xml, set Java source and target versions to 1.4 and 1.6.

• Do "mvn eclipse:eclipse"

Now, notice how the source and target settings in .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs has whatever was in the <additionalConfig> file.

The source and target versions from your pom.xml are ignored.

I would like to have correct values for source and target filled in for Eclipse, even if I add a settings file manually.
