Optional parameter is not initialized properly in Eclipse - not all <parameter> tags are being added to testng-customsuite.xml

[yherasym]

Eclipse Juno Service Realease 2
TestNG plugin 6.8.6.20130914_0724

Preconditions: a project has two testng xml files; a test-class uses parameters with Optional default values (simple project has been attached);
Scenario:

1. Run TestNG test by Right mouse click on test-class (see attachment YH-246
   
   );
   As result Eclipse will ask which testng xml has to be used as expected (see attachment YH-247
   
   );
2. Select some file.
   ActualResult: all optional parameters are initialized with "not-found" values;
   see YH-248
   

ExpectedResult: the optional parameters are initialized with their specified default values;

I have found a root of the problem: temporary testng-customsuite.xml is not forming correctly in part of tag;
In my case the file has been formed as:

------------------------

but my original is

-----------------------------------------

As you can see that only first tag has been added to the temporary xml file;
ExpecteResult: all tags have to be in the temporary xml file.

If it is not testng-eclipse plugin issue - pls state and I will move the issue against Eclipse.

@yherasym comment is spot on. You can see the testng-customsuite.xml being used will not contain all the params from the xml you select from the pop up. Selecting a template XML will get around this, but that is not as convenient as selecting from the pop up. I would think ALL params from the xml you select should make it to the testng-customsuite.xml which would solve this problem.
