MobileFirst 7.1 OSX Eclipse server url setting

Question

I am using Eclipse Juno with MFP 7.1 in a Mac.

I put my server address in Configure Build and Deploy Target http://example.com:80 and then use Run As > Run on MobileFirst Development Server.

In Windows, this updates my worklight.plist and wlclient.properties files with the new values for the server URL and port number, however in Mac the values remains MyMacBookPro.local as the server URL and the port number as 10080.

Migrated to Eclipse Mars but the problem remains the same:
