Justin,

I am not sure where the "imported_classes" directory is coming from. That is not the normal behavior for Maven.

Normally, the setup you describe would result in the sources from src/main/java being compiled into WEB-INF/classes inside the war file. However, be aware that I *DON'T* mean src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes. All the files produced during the build (including .class files) end up inside the "target" dir.

Search your pom.xml file for the string "imported_classes". Perhaps you adapted your pom.xml from another project and inherited an unwanted setting.

Are you using an IDE? Maybe it is compiling the sources to that location.

Here is a link to the maven-war-plugin documentation, which is very helpful for setting up a war project in maven (or figuring out why a war project isn't building the way you expect it to):
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/

src/main/java is the standard location for Java sources in Maven. If you are asking "why not in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/src (or similar)?", I have two responses:
* most projects don't want their source code in the war file structure
* using the Maven standard location means you can use all the Maven reports, etc. without having to configure a "custom" location

In my web project, I have the following:

src
----main
--------java
-------------com/my/package/MyServlet
--------webapp
------------*.jsp
------------WEB-INF

In the WAR file that is generated, MyServlet ends up in a folder called imported_classes. It cannot be reference after I deploy my WAR as it is not in the classpath. Can anybody please advise how I would go about making it visible and what the point of having a src/main/java/... path would be in a web project?

Thanks,
