xml-maven-plugin: Adding src/main/resources/META-INF/lifycyclemapping-metadata.xml

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Hi,

as some of you (the Eclipse users) may be aware: M2E (The Maven plugin for Eclipse) has a brain-damaged problem [1], which prevents most Maven projects from being usable, upon checkout.

Now, a user has submitted a PR [2], which ought to fix this problem for the xml-maven-plugin.

Now, I am fully aware, that IDE specific files, in general, are discouraged, if not forbidden in a clean source tree.

However, knowing the problem from experience, and considering the files location, which is quite hidden (src/main/resources/META-INF), I am personally tending to accept the PR. Before I do that,

though, I'd like to hear other opinions?

Thanks,

Jochen
