I also wanted to endorse this separation of build directories,
particularly because Eclipse uses an incremental compiler that will
write incomplete class files when it can't resolve everything. If you
then try a command-line build with Ant or Maven, those incomplete class
files are newer than the source files and don't get compiled. This can
lead to some very annoying build breaks!

Subject: Re: [m2eclipse-user] plugin 0.0.10 generating IDE
compilation errors
I consider it a "best practice" to never have Eclipse and Maven
building into the same directory. I normally set my Eclipse/Maven
projects up using standard Eclipse structure, building into
${basedir}/bin, while letting Maven always build into
${basedir}/target/classes. (This, by the way, would be the default
location for each of them ;-)

Hi Marc,
we have seen similar problems when an eclipse project
(also a dependent
project) build .class files under target directory.
Maven clean-up the target and eclipse loose its compiled
classes.
This make eclipse confused because it see the .java
classes (and you can do
Ctrl+Space to import classes) but then it gives you a
compile error similar
to yours.
hope this help,
best regards,
Federico
