Eclipse AspectJ compilation in Maven project

[hurzeler]

Hi there,
I need some help here. I am trying to run the vote example of Spring Roo 1.2.2.RELEASE in Eclipse Juno. All is fine if I 'perform eclipse' on the vote project. Then open it in eclipse. It build, deploys and runs ok. Equally if I right click on the pom.xml and build and deploy the war the application runs fine.
The trouble starts when I convert the project to a Maven project as it should be. 'perform eclipse' makes only a Dynamic Web Module.
I noticed that the class files are different and look as if eclipse has not done the AspectJ compilation correcly. For example the Entities do not implement org.springframework.beans.factory.aspectj.Configur ableObject. So clearly eclipse is missing something.

Note the project has the Dynamic Web Module facet is of AspectJ and Maven nature.
Maven 3.0.4
AspectJ 1.7.0
m2e 1.1.0
m2e WTP 0.15

Well it turns out that m2e does ignore the aspectj-maven-plugin because I explicitly ask it to do so. The solution is quite simple. Just change:

<action>
      <ignore/>
</action>

to

<action>
      <execute/>
</action>

Unfortunately the pom.xml that gets generated is set to ignore by default.
