How to properly ignore "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration:" errors

Question

After upgrading to Eclipse Luna and installing the m2e plugin this morning, my project is now showing an error in the pom file for my project. The errors are:

- Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6:testResources (execution: default-testResources, phase: process-test-resources)
- Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6:resources (execution: default-resources, phase: process-resources)

My original pom.xml looked like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

      <resources>

      <testResources>
         <testResource>
            <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
         </testResource>
      </testResources>
   </build>
</project>

I tried updating it via the docs here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E_plugin_execution_not_covered

And it now looks like this:

                        </pluginExecutionFilter>
                        <action>
                           <ignore />

            </configuration>
         </plugin>
      </plugins>
   </build>
</project>

However, the error still shows up. So, there must be something wrong with this config, can someone point me to where I'm going wrong?

Adding the <pluginManagement> tag per the accept answer here took care of my issue: How to solve "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration" for Spring Data Maven Builds

I thought I had tried that, but apparently I wasn't doing it correctly.
