My understanding is that with m2e * Eclipse handles compiling Java files * Resource handling is delegated to maven
which is what you see in your .classpath. Eclipse takes ownership of **/*.java, but leaves resources/** to Maven. In your project -> Maven -> Lifecycle mappings you should find the counterpart, ie. Maven handling resources.
