Why does the m2e plugin build to a WEB-INF/classes in the target folder for a maven jar project?

Since I am packaging a jar (i.e. Maven jar project), I don't know why m2e insists on setting the Eclipse project's source folder's output to write to target/WEB-INF/classes. I tried changing it to point to build/classes, but as soon as I do a Maven -> Update Project it changes it back.
Why? Am I missing a project level setting?
Update: Added pom.xml

The reason this was happening was because I had this "outputDirectory" tag in the <build> section of the parent pom.
<!-- for hot reload of the web application -->
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/classes
</outputDirectory>
As soon as I removed that, the Maven Update removed "WEB-INF" from the .classpath output directories.

In the project explorer it is shown that project is running on java 1.5
So i changed it to java 1.8 from java build path of project
i removed the java 1.5 and pointed it to java 1.8
then the changes were visible.
but when i update the pom.xml it again show java 1.5.
Also in the project facets it is java 1.8
Please help me in making it java 1.8

Sparsh , In the plugins options of maven you should add the compiler level
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin
2.3.2
<configuration>
<source>${jdk.version}</source>
<target>${jdk.version}</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugins>
And in your properties stanza , you should have
<properties>
<jdk.version>1.8</jdk.version>
</properties>

download the repositories in maven

I have an application (Spring 4 MVC+Hibernate 4+MySQL+Maven integration example using annotations) , integrating Spring with Hibernate using annotation based configuration. I just added a couple of repositories OSGEO GeoTools repo & Hibernate Spatial repo in order to have access to org.hibernate.spatial.GeometryType type. I clean and install the maven project but the jar is not installed.
hibernate-spatial 5.0.5 is not be compatible with the version of hibernate I am using 4.3.2.

Watch your dependency on hibernate-spatial. You commented it. Here is it:
<!-- dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-spatial</artifactId>
<version>5.0.5.Final</version>
</dependency-->
Just remove a chars after/before <> ;) And use correct version:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-spatial</artifactId>
<version>4.X.X</version>
</dependency>
On their pages you can see this:
Hibernate Spatial version 4.3 is compatible with Hibernate 4.3.x only
Hibernate Spatial version 4.0 is compatible with Hibernate 4.x only

Spring 4.2.3.RELEASE and Hibernate 5.0.4.Final compatibility issue

Has anyone configured Spring 4.2.3.RELEASE and Hibernate 5.0.4.Final together ? Official documents from Spring say from version 4.2 spring starts supporting Hibernate version 5. But in case of configuring them together i always get the following Exception

This pom.xml and my other configurations are quite okay with Spring 4.0.6 and Hibernate 4.3.6 ... Can anyone please share his/her experience with these latest version compatibility issues. Or is there anything new way to configure them together that I am missing ?

I was dealing with same problem for a few hours. I have noticed that :
[INFO] +- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core:jar:4.0.3.RELEASE:compile
[INFO] | +- aopalliance:aopalliance:jar:1.0:compile
[INFO] | \- org.springframework:spring-aop:jar:4.2.2.RELEASE:compile
This shows that lastest spring-security-core version 4.0.3.RELEASE is dependent with Spring Framework 4.2.2.RELEASE.
You have two solution for this:
1) Exclude spring-aop 4.2.2 for spring-security-core and explicitly add your dependency description for spring-aop:jar:4.2.3.RELEASE to your pom file.
2) Change your 4.2.3.RELEASE dependency to 4.2.2.RELEASE and change Hibernate version 5.0.4.Final to 5.0.2.Final
I choose second way and it worked for me.

Looking at the pom.xml of spring-orm-4.2.3.RELEASE, the version of the hibernate that it is using is 5.0.3.Final
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>5.0.3.Final</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
It is an optional dependency, so it will not be resolved as a transitive dependency. You still need to provide the necessary hibernate jars like what you are currently doing. You only need to modify the version to the official version that it is using.
<hibernate-framework.version>5.0.3.Final</hibernate-framework.version>

hi friends i try to make smiple web maven project in Spring tool suite but every time when i try to run the project on server there is no option come to run on server..
then i change the java version 1.5 to 1.8 but again its not working..
then i go to the project facet and select the Dynamic web module 3.0 then it show run on server but it also show error in pom.xml file that it dont have web.xml file..
but file is there .i waste my lot of time but still no solution

Add a new server on the Servers tab (Tomcat for example) or choose an existing one, deploy your web application and start the server
