reuses String method argument causing maven-eclipse.xml copy-resources problems
    * [MECLIPSE-236] - eclipse:make-artifacts should preserve the
resolution:=optional directive
    * [MECLIPSE-237] - unsafe EclipseSourceDir.equals() method

org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:pom:test

used in wtp facet
    * [MECLIPSE-243] - The last 2.4 SNAPSHOT forbid Apache Directory
Server to be built

** Improvement

eclipse project names to be the artifactId
    * [MECLIPSE-207] - Add supprt for arbitrary facets, like JSF
    * [MECLIPSE-267] - Resolve version ranges in make-artifacts
    * [MECLIPSE-268] - [eclipse:rad goal] Make customization of

    * [MECLIPSE-286] - Ability to skip generated-resources/rad6 folder
creation while executing eclipse:rad
    * [MECLIPSE-292] - Behaviour for sources and Javadoc attachement
for dependencies should be consistent

** New Feature
    * [MECLIPSE-65] - Add contextName parameter to eclipse mojo so a
webtool context name doesn't have to match artifactId/project name.
    * [MECLIPSE-119] - Allow custom project name for eclipse projects
