Eclipse - Maven - JPMS [message #1801118]

Currently im migrating legacy-projects from java 8 to java 11. There are some issues using vm args like add-modules, add-exports and add-opens:

Some base informations:
- eclipse 2018-12 for Java developers
- buildin maven (3.5.3)
- java 11 (open-jdk-hotspot_11.0.1_13-windows-x64)

Within the pom im adding modules and exports:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
	<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>${compiler.plugin.version}</version>
	<configuration>
		<source>11</source>
		<target>11</target>
		<compilerArgs>
			<arg>--add-modules=java.desktop</arg>
			<arg>--add-exports=java.desktop/com.sun.java.swing.plaf.motif=ALL-UNNAMED</arg>
		</compilerArgs>
	</configuration>
</plugin>

Thats working fine. Using maven to compile the project ends with success.
But eclipse shows problems (the type xxx is not accessable).

index.php/fa/34660/0/

To avoid these problems i can modify the project configurtaion:
Java Build Path -> Libraries -> JRE System Library [JavaSE-11] -> Is modular -> Edit

BUT: m2e is controlling the project settings. maven update command removes the changes in the project settings every time.
Is it possible to enable m2e to take over the vm-args from the pom to the project settings?

There is an example project attached demonstrating the issue.

Greetings
Imanuel

Sounds like an excellent question for the m2e experts.
Please find their coordinates in https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/m2e-community.html
Or as a workaround: avoid executing "Maven > Update Project" after initial import, at least that part that changes the project configuration.
