[regression] plugin fails to create Eclipse projects in 2.7
-----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MECLIPSE-585
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-585
             Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Core : .project
    Affects Versions: 2.7
            Reporter: Joerg Schaible


Since version 2.7 of the plugin it is no longer possible to create Eclipse 
projects for Apache commons-vfs.

Steps to reproduce
# Check out https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/vfs/trunk
# Call "mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse"

Maven stops with an error reported from the plugin. With version 2.6 it is 
possible to create the projects, call

 mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:2.6:clean 
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:2.6:eclipse

The output for version 2.7 is:

While the error is technically correct and the Eclipse project produced by 
version 2.6 is not valid, I have still the possibility to fix the Eclipse 
project manually. However, since the plugin with 2.7 will not create anything, 
it is really worse and I am completely left alone. Therefore, it is fine to 
print an explicit waring on the screen, but you should nevertheless create the 
project and continue.
