Hibernate Maven enhancement plugin configuration

Hibernate's new dirty check policy was introduced in HHH-8354. I'm interested in using that improvement in my project using the (also new) maven compile time enhancement, but there is no documentation or explanations regarding these new features.

As far as I understand, the pom needs to look like this:

<plugins>  
    ....
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.hibernate.orm.tooling</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-enhance-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.5.Final</version>
        <executions>
            <execution>
                <phase>compile</phase>
                <goals>
                    <goal>enhance</goal>
                </goals>
            </execution>
        </executions>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

But for some reason enhance goal is not recognized by Eclipse. In addition I would like to further configure it in order to exclude folders and files (other configuration voodoo help would be appreciated too)
