Yes, that's fine. My question was aiming at maven-driven compile.
Actually, the setup of using JDT compiler for incremental builds
and using javac towards packaging etc. might account for a significant
number of bugs reported against the JDT compiler, where users are
confused about different messages reported by both compilers.
For all the cases where the JLS leaves room for several interpretations
this comparison is an unnecessary excercise. IMHO it'd be easier if only
one compiler would be used through-out.
At the moment m2e only knows how
to map configuration of compilerId=javac and this is why you see "plugin
execution not covered" errors.
Are there any plans to add support for compilerId=jdt to m2e?
No plans to support compilerId=jdt unless somebody contributes a
quality. Vast majority of m2e users seems to be using javac, so it would
not be good use of our very limited resources on alternatively compilers
support.
The wiki page you reference is not complete yet, but it is rather high
on our priority list and I expect to have more details soon-ish (sorry,
can't promise anything more specific).
I'm looking forward to that ...

BTW: do you have a list of what JDT settings can be configured via
the maven-compiler-plugin configuration? Put differently, what's the
recommended strategy to define, e.g., per-project error/warning settings?
m2e-core jdt settings support is currently limited to classpath
management and java source/target level configuraton. m2e is expected to
preserve other parts of .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs during
project import and configuration update. In other words, it is possible
to use JDT GUI to manage most of project configuration and m2e will
respect that.
