I hate Mac, they are the worst thing that happened to Java developers, I 
still don't understand why so many Java developers use them... That said ;)
Is this property set by default on Mac when using Eclipse? Are there 
some success stories of Eclipse on OSX with Java 1.7 ?
It could be an upstream issue.

Also, I'd rather not using some complex and immature Expression Language 
extension in the parent pom. We already have a lot of things to improve 
with the way we build, using such a not-standard thing sounds like 
shooting in our own feet.
If we can't find a better way, this will be yet-another-profile-for-OSX 
in the pom.xml.
