Dear m2e community,

I'm having installed:
-       Eclipse Juno Service Release 2
-       m2e plugin version 1.3.1.20130219-1424

with the following Maven "pom.xml":
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.1</version>
<configuration>
<!-- used by "m2e" Eclipse plugin to update the
     "Source compatibility level" and "Compiler compliance
            level" within the Eclipse project "Java compiler"
            settings when running "Maven" -> "Update project". -->
<source>1.6</source>
       <!-- used by "m2e" Eclipse plugin to update the
            "Generated .class files compatibility" within the
            Eclipse project "Java compiler"
            settings when running "Maven" -> "Update project".
            It also changes the "JRE System Library" version within
            the "Java Build Path" Eclipse project settings. -->
<target>1.7</target>
       <compilerArgument>-Xlint:all</compilerArgument>
       <showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
       <showDeprecation>true</showDeprecation>
</configuration>

The problem:
-       when updating the Eclipse project configuration using m2e based on the 
"pom.xml" (Maven -> Update project -> Update project configuration from 
pom.xml), I get an invalid Eclipse "Java compiler" configuration setting for 
this project, as Eclipse tells me "Classfile compatibility must be equal or 
less than compliance level"

The root cause:
-       the "maven-compiler-plugin" setting for <target> is not used to set the 
"Compiler compliance level". So, it differs compared to the setting "Generated 
.class files compatibility".
-       m2e does ignore a potential available setting 
"<compilerVersion>1.7</compilerVersion>"

Is it a real bug or is there a solution available?

Best regards,
Holger King
