I've followed the instructions at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/project-faq.html#8.
When I
Rightclick Eclipse project.
Choose Run As Maven build...
Enter "install" as the target.
Enter "eclipse" as the profile.
Select skipTests
and then run that configuration,
I can see sources are compiled in target-eclipse\classes.
However the jar/war/ear files are still being generated to the target directory. E.g.:
[INFO] [jar:jar]
[INFO] Building jar: C:\projects\x\y\modules\backend\target\y-backend-1.0.jar
I would have expected the jar/war/ears to also be generated underneath target-eclipse.

Is this a bug ? Is there a workaround ?

Thanks,
EDH
