Review Comment:
   > Imagine if every IDE ask for storing their specific files? sounds a bad 
design to me.
   
   Indeed that would be bad and was the reason why I/we the M2E team reached 
out to the Maven devs on their mailing list (the link @kwin posted above) to 
establish a unified API defined/maintained by Maven that all IDEs could use. 
Eventually this probably would have lead to a similar Maven-defined/maintained 
lifecycle-mapping metadata format (which actually also could be generated from 
annotations see e.g. https://github.com/eclipse-m2e/m2e-core/issues/830).
   But there was only negative feedback from all Maven devs about that 
suggestion, so each IDE has to continue to handle it their one way.
   
   Anyway, as @mickaelistria said below we can maintain that metadata in a 
Eclipse M2E plug-in.
