Eclipse Launched Maven project not using classes in the \target folder

Question

I have a project which I am converting from plain Java to Maven.

I used the "Configure -> Convert to Maven Project" option in eclipse.

I removed all jars in the classpath and referenced them in my POM file and built the project

My new classes are built in project/target but when I launch from eclipse, (using the original launcher) , the old classes are in project\\bin folder are used.

How do I reconfigure this to use the correct classes ?

Seems that the configuration for output files in eclipse has not change. Try to change the output of generated files in eclipse manually:

1. Right click in project -> Properties.
2. Select "Java build path" and tab "Sources".
3. At bottom you have a field named "Default output folder". Change it for: <your-project>/target/classes

For example:

Hope it works.
