I know this is an Eclipse problem, but I'm wondering if anybody else
using m2 and Eclipse+WTP is seeing this problem, and if they've found
a workaround.

Normally my pom.xml file is associated with the XML editor from the
Web Tools Project (WTP) plugin.  However, it seems to get "taken over"
by the Ant Editor when I add a the line: <target>1.4</target> in
build/plugins/configuration section.

In other words, the following uses the XML Editor (which is what I want):

<project>
        <build>
                <plugins>
                        <plugin>
                                <configuration>
                                        <source>1.4</source>
                                </configuration>
                        </plugin>
                </plugins>
        </build>
</project>

But the following makes it switch to the Ant Editor:

<project>
        <build>
                <plugins>
                        <plugin>
                                <configuration>
                                        <source>1.4</source>
                                        <target>1.4</target>
                                </configuration>
                        </plugin>
                </plugins>
        </build>
</project>

It appears that Eclipse tries to analyze and XML file, and if it
contains a 'target' element within a 'project' element (no matter how
nested...) it treats it as an Ant file...
