Using a custom header file via the <headerLocation> results in an error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure the maven plugin using the <headerLocation> element in <plugin> 
configuration (all in the project pom)
2. In the checkstyle configuration, reference the header using the maven 
defined property:  <property name="headerFile" 
value="${checkstyle.header.file}"/>
3. Import the project into Eclipse

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: m2eclipse would setup the property ${checkstyle.header.file} based 
upon the <headerLocation> element in the pom configuration and configure the 
eclipse plugin accordingly

Actual: m2eclipse does not configure the eclipse plugin with the details of the 
property.  Instead I get errors when attempting to use checkstyle noting: 
unable to parse configuration stream - Property ${checkstyle.header.file} has 
not been set

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Eclipse Indigo
Ubunto 11.10
m2eclipse: 1.0.0.20110607-2177
Checkstyle configuration plugin for M2Eclipse:  1.0.0.201106081737
