Great for the IDEA users, but this does NOT help me with eclipse.

Can someone point out why it was designed this way?
The src/*/java folders could also be used as resources directory with
exclude filters on *.java (and potentially package.html, overview.html and
doc-files/**).
Do NOT get me wrong - I see that it is NOT a good idea to change this
anymore in the Super-POM or the maven-jar-plugin, but I would like to
understand. Maybe there is something I am missing that would help me
to live better with the inconvenience or prevent me from adjusting this in my
toplevel POM.

Thanks

Re: problem with separation of "java" and "resources"

Well, filtering of resources would be damned hard if there were a bunch of
.java files in the mix, for one  (and probably the biggest) reason.
