M2E problem : Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration

I am adding to the blogosphere of development-related blogs another post about the “Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration” error.

The M2E Plugin 1.0.0 is integrated into Eclipse Indigo (3.7). Apparently, M2E connectors, which are a bridge between Maven and Eclipse, require to provide a connector for every plugin that is used in the build.
And if no connector is available, M2E shows the following annoying errors in the Eclipse problems view :

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.7:run (execution: run, phase: validate)

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5:resources (execution: default-resources, phase: process-resources)

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.5:testResources (execution: default-testResources, phase: process-test-resources)

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:properties-maven-plugin:1.0-alpha-2:read-project-properties (execution: default, phase: initialize)

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.cxf:cxf-codegen-plugin:2.2:wsdl2java (execution: generate-sources, phase: generate-sources)

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.codehaus.mojo:hibernate3-maven-plugin:3.0-SNAPSHOT:hbm2ddl (execution: default, phase: compile)

Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-ear-plugin:2.6:generate-application-xml

To avoid these errors, it is necessary to modify the pom.xml file so that M2E will not complain about it.

These are the extra lines that I added in my parent pom.xml :

<pluginManagement>
