Let me rephrase to make sure we talk about the same thing
m2eclipse runs (approximate) maven build lifecicle during eclipse build
to filter resources, (re)generate sources, deployment descriptors and so on.
And you want an option to have "pure" eclipse build which will only
generate .class files and copy resources to non-maven output and
test-output folders. To reiterate, m2eclipse will not automatically
(re)generate source and will not make available at runtime any other
files produced during normal maven build.
Right?

First, let me explain how 0.9.4 and previous versions deal with resources.
Resources *source* folders is and has always been a pure "eye candy".
They made resources folders easier to spot in Package Explorer view, but
they always had "Excluded: **" regardless of separate/same output folder.
Yes, I know, but when I changed my build directory, I also changed this
comportment to remove the "Excluded: **" for resources.
Before 0.9.4, m2eclipse sometimes added resources folders to classpath
and sometimes tried to copy/filter resources to appropriate output
folder. Unfortunately, this never worked reliably and was actually the
main reasons we decided to get rid of separate output folders (I tried
to explain this in better details here
http://markmail.org/message/733lqtw5moa4cim4).
I do understand that filtered resources is quite hard to get with
separate build folders, but I really still that for us that can do
without resources filtering in eclipse, having the possibility (even
with big warnings) to have a separate build directory would be a plus.
In 0.9.4, m2eclipse is always uses maven-resource-plugin to copy/filter
resources to maven output folder. This is supposed to happen both on
full eclipse builds and incrementally on resource changes. Actual
resource copy/filter logic did not change in 0.9.4, but we call this
code more often now.
That can explain my problem. I did a project reconfiguration, but I did
not trigger a clean of my projects. Unfortunately I cannot test it
anymore as I reverted my installation of m2eclipse to 0.9.3.
