SO, I tried using the nifty " mvn -Dwtpversion=1.5 eclipse:eclipse" and got a big ugly error:

[INFO] Cant canonicalize system path: {0}

Embedded error: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrec

The root cause of the problem is that you can not use any variables in the placeholders of your resources in your pom.  This is what I had that gave me problems.  You can't do this with this plugin:

        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>${project.basedir}/JavaSource</directory>
                <targetPath>
                    ${project.basedir}/target/src/main/java
                </targetPath>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>test/**</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
