Update Project Configuration +packaging-war +/src/main/java/

“Update Project Configuration” does not correctly update maven war-projects with the maven standard /src/main/java/, /src/main/resources/, /src/test/java/, /src/test/resources/ structure.

After updating project configuration, the sources folder point to /target/classes/, instead of /web-inf/classes/.

— Steps to re-create:

Step #1: Create the standard maven webapp project structure:

|-pom.xml
|-src    
    |-main 
           |-java
           |-webapp 
                     |-WEB-INF
                              |-web.xml

pom.xml contents:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>testing</groupId>
    <artifactId>Test</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    
    <packaging>war</packaging>

    <build></build>
</project>

Step #2: Enable importing of existing maven project
MyEclipse menu Window/Preferences/”MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench”/Maven4MyEclipse/”Enable all m2eclipse features”=true

Step #3: Import project with:
MyEclilpse menu File/Import…/Maven Projects/

Goto to the “Java Build Path”, verify /src/main/java/ points to /WEB-INF/classes.

Step #4: Right-click project, under Maven4MyEclipse, choose “Update Project Configuration”.
/src/main/java/ now points /target/classes instead of /WEB-INF/classes.
