get rid of POM not found warning for org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping

Question

With intent to get m2e 1.0 working correctly I have had to specify the lifecycle mapping:

    <pluginManagement>         <plugins>             <plugin>                 <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>                 <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>                 <version>1.0.0</version>                 <configuration>                     <lifecycleMappingMetadata>                         <pluginExecutions>                             <pluginExecution>                                 <pluginExecutionFilter>                                     <groupId>org.bsc.maven</groupId>                                     <artifactId>maven-processor-plugin</artifactId>                                     <versionRange>[2.0.2,)</versionRange>                                     <goals>                                         <goal>process</goal>                                     </goals>                                 </pluginExecutionFilter>                                 <action>                                     <execute />                                 </action>                             </pluginExecution>                         </pluginExecutions>                                              </lifecycleMappingMetadata>                 </configuration>             </plugin>         </plugins>     </pluginManagement> 

But then I get this warning:

 [WARNING] The POM for org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping:jar:1.0.0 is missing, no dependency information available  [WARNING] Failed to retrieve plugin descriptor for org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping:1.0.0: Plugin org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping:1.0.0 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping:jar:1.0.0 

if I run some specific maven task for example mvn clean install findbugs:findbugs (If I run only mvn clean install then there is no such message)

I know that the problem is that this POM does not exists, because it is only defined to hold the mapping information. (m2e lifecycle-mapping not found)

Anyway, I want to keep my build clean, without any warnings, so how can I get rid of this specific one? (My CI server checks that there is no warning.)

I use Maven 3.0.2 and tried Maven 3.0.3 too, but the same result.

My team works around this problem by wrapping the relevant configuration in a profile:

<profile>   <id>only-eclipse</id>   <activation>     <property>       <name>m2e.version</name>     </property>   </activation>   <build>     <pluginManagement>       <plugins>         <plugin>           <groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>           <artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>           <version>1.0.0</version>           <configuration>             ...           </configuration>         </plugin>       </plugins>     </pluginManagement>   </build> </profile>
