Maven puts class files into expected target folder but they are invisible in Eclipse

Question

I am building in Eclipse (latest version) using Maven. The output class files do exist in the projects target directory, just as the log output indicates but they are invisible under target. This does not seem to be a filter problem since I do not see a way to filter out class files, only inner class files.

Answer 1

.class files are not visible in most of the Navigator type views in Eclipse (Project Explorer, Navigator etc).

You question title says "are visible" but in your question you say "they are invisible" - which is it exactly? By default they are always invisible - you have to go to the file system if you want to see the .class files.
