Thanks, Charlie.
Yes, I see that I'm really asking Maven instead of Eclipse-Maven
questions and I do tell people in the Eclipse newcomers list when they
start doing that. Thanks for putting up with me.
Best regards and thanks to all,
Russ

Hi,
You can configure sourceDirectory, testDirectory, etc... in your pom
(http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Build_Element).
And I think that archetype generation (mvn
archetype:create-from-project) will not cause trouble, even if your
directory structure is not so Maven friendly.
Also, archetype generation as nothing to do with m2e:

Welcome back on the Maven world!

Thanks very much for these ideas. After Asaf wrote, I Googled
around to figure out what he was referring to and found doc that
enabled me both to amend my /pom.xml/ and to understand why
amending it worked (found out about the Super POM), which it did
and my project now looks the way I want it to and also works.
My next question is also a simple one about the next logical step.
Having fixed my project's /pom.xml /to accept the simplified,
Eclipse-like subdirectory structure,*what can I do such that typing*
$ mvn archetype:generate
*
**to create my next project will result in a **/pom.xml /**and
subdirectory structure already fixed up this way?*
In other words, I think, I'm asking how to create my own archetype.
Eventually, I'm hoping also to do this for Eclipse Dynamic Web
projects (what I really do), that is, create an archetype that
will set them up just as Eclipse sets up this kind of project
instead of how the available archetypes do it.
I think armed with these answers, I'll be back into Maven and over
the annoyances that I originally experienced years ago prior to
working on teams that eschewed Maven in favor of just ant or ant
and Ivy. I would just stick with ant/Ivy, but I'm going to be
working on a team that uses Maven, so I have to get back into it.
Many thanks for your patience, guys!

In the Pom.xml under build element there are several elements
allowing you to change source directory and testSource directory.
Go wild :)

I'm a not-too-savvy Maven user. What I would like to do, and
it probably violates some sacred religious Maven principle,
is alter subdirectory structure to imitate a non-Maven
Eclipse project. Please see the illustration below.
Is it Maven that imposes the extra, traditional substructure
or a function of the archetype that can be modified (if only
I knew how)?
Many thanks for comments.
