Great, that was exactly what I was looking for.
When I have the time, I'm trying to write a m2e extension
for the axistools-maven-plugin (http://mojo.codehaus.org/axistools-maven-plugin/)
that I'm using more or less frequently...


Just for the record, if anyone is interested what
I did to work around the new behaviour introduced with m2e-1.0: I'm using
a combination of axistools and build-helper plugin:
