Eclipse plugin adds resource directories to build path

[CD...@behr.com]

Hi,

I have started using the Eclipse plugin with m2.

I used the "Update source folders" menu option and it did find the Java 
source folders. But it also added the src/main/resource folder and the 
src/test/resource folder to my Eclipse build path. I also notice that when 
I go and look more closely at these settings in the project properties 
dialog, the resource folders have their output folders set to be the same 
as the resource folder itself.

So my question is, is this correct behavior and if so, why do I want my 
resource folders on my Eclipse build path and have the output folders set 
the way they are?

Thanks.

its all fine,
you want it because so you can edit poperties files, spring bean 
contexts etc. in eclipse
for output folder: target is the base folder when you do mvn install, 
test etc. so you need the resources here.
also, you often want the resources bundled in jar, if not use filters.
