variableFiles in java isn't being read successfully with Maven

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
I'm using Robot Framework Maven Plugin with Eclipse to mavenize RF test cases. 
When I specify a Variables file either in the test case settings or in the POM 
file, in both cases running the maven project fails showing the following error:

[ ERROR ] Processing variable file "\User\myuser\.....\Variables.java" failed: 
AttributeError: instance attr: class

I tried passing the variables using <variables> option in the pom file and it 
worked fine.
I tried passing the Variables file path in the test case and running the pybot 
command from the terminal and it worked fine too. 

The problem arrises only when running the project as maven. 
Please advice.
