Hi Marcelo!

Add the Classpath variable "M2_REPO":
In Eclipse: -> Window -> Preferences ->Java -> Buildpath-> Classpath
variable-> New...
Name: "M2_REPO", Folder: "<Your Users home directory>/.m2/repository", e.g.
something like "c:\documents and settings\marcelo\.m2\repository\"

Take a look at src/main/webapp

> I also feel there's some redudancy. For example, there are two webapp dirs

src: Your source files
target: the folder containing the compiled / packaged versions of the src
files. See maven2 homepage for more details about the directory structure

>I'm not quite sure on the workflow for developing with AppFuse.

Check out the tutorials on  http://www.appfuse.org

Bye, Peter
