Debugging a NetBeans module with a NetBeans Maven Project

I have a NetBeans Module project using Maven loaded up in the NetBeans IDE. I need to debug the module. When I push the debug button I get the following error message:

The IDE needs to define ${netbeans.run.params.ide} in order to run this action. Currently you project's plugin configuration does not interpret this variable. Adjust D:\mypath\pom.xml to use it defined?

In my pom I do not have the additionalArguments tag set and I have:

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <netbeans.run.params.ide></netbeans.run.params.ide>
    <netbeans.run.params>${netbeans.run.params.ide}</netbeans.run.params>
</properties>

Even the pom navigator inside the IDE show that the property is there. So my question is straightforward. What the heck is causing that error?

Though the interrogation of somebody much smarter than me I have found the answer to this. Somewhere along the line, something had added the line 

<netbeans.run.params></netbeans.run.params>

to my ~home/.m2/settings.xml file. This was overriding the property when the IDE tried to set it.
