Simple Maven/Eclipse Project with Error.

I have a web application that configured the maven-war-plugin to copy some files from the module's parent base directory to its WEB-INF directory.

Here is the relevant section of the pom.xml

<webResources>
	<resource>
		<directory>${project.parent.basedir}/etc/deploy</directory>
		<targetPath>WEB-INF/etc/config</targetPath>
		<filtering>false</filtering>
	</resource>
</webResources>

When I execute Project -> Clean in Eclipse Helios SR2 I get the following errror messages:

1.  An error occurred while filtering resources, error-war, line 1, Maven Problem
2.  no context maven session, pom.xml, /error-war, line 1, Maven Problem

If I execute in the Context Menu, Maven -> Update Project Configuration, the error goes away until I execute Project -> Clean again.

Please see attached a simple project that in my system has the problem.  If I remove the webResources section the problem goes away.
