Description

1. Create a Maven project in Eclipse.

2. Add a single class and a single test method decorated with @Test.

import org.junit.Test;

public class ATest
{
	@Test
	public void test()
	{
		
	}
}

3. Add the necessary information to the POM -

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.13</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>junit</groupId>
        <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
        <version>4.7</version>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

4. Close Eclipse.

5. Edit your .project file to include the validator -

<buildCommand>
    <name>org.eclipse.wst.validation.validationbuilder</name>
    <arguments></arguments>
</buildCommand>

6. Build from the command line -

> mvn install

7. Open Eclipse.

EXPECTING: no warnings appear out of the box. I understand workarounds, but for the benefit of anyone going forward and existing users, there should be no warnings.

ACTUAL: warning appears -
