I prefer the way it is now, resource folder shown as source folder in Package 
Explorer

Betreff: [m2eclipse-user] resource folders in package explorer

In order to make resource folders easier to spot in Package Explorer, m2e adds 
these folders to java project build path. For example, attached 
sourcefolder.PNG shows a simple webapp with single resources folder 
"src/main/resources".

As you can see in attached buildpath.PNG, resource folders are configured in 
such a way that no resources are actually processed by JDT, i.e. excludes=** 
and also note location of the Output Folder. In other words, m2e adds resource 
folders to java build path strictly for visual purposes.

There were number of questions about this feature that seems to suggest 
some/many people find it confusing so we decided to ask if we should make it 
configurable or get rid of it altogether.

Attached plainfolder.PNG shows how the same webapp project would look in 
Package Explorer with this feature turned off.

And here are screenshots of a simple java project with this feature on and off 
(quickstarton.PNG and quickstartoff.PNG respectively).

So, what do you think? Is this useful, confusing or does not really matter?
