I think you have in mind to replace ITs in the maven-eclipse-plugin ??

 Does anyone know any tools to support integration tests and verifying
 that the results match what was expected?

 Something that checks the files created against the expected files
 after replacing variables or perhaps using pattern matching.

Yes.
More specifically documenting a common approach so that all plugins
can take advantage of it.
We already have enough invoker type plugins but right now we only have
adhoc verification.
I'd like to move a step closer to either using an existing tool or
extracting out m-e-ps work into a tool that can be shared (if there is
nothing better out there)

You'll find this helpful:

It needs updating and finishing :)

Thanks.
I'm interested in the specifics of the verification steps.
I'd prefer not to roll my own which appears to be the way verification
is done currently.
