Apparently this preference was added (by me) to cope with some weird eclipse behavior back in the day https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MECLIPSEWTP-58 "Some integration tests failed for J2EE 1.4 projects under Eclipse 3.5, so I added a preference/project property page under Maven > WTP Integration, where you can choose to generate application.xml in the build dir (default setting), or in the source folders (old behaviour). "
