title: Maven project and Eclipse workspace
body: <p>I have been working with Netbeans quite a while and I am now moving to Eclipse. </p>
  
  <p>Basically I have a Maven project that I would like to work on using Eclipse. </p>
  
  <p>What I am not sure about is whether I need to point my Eclipse workspace to the directory where my project super pom is located or whether the Eclipse workspace needs to point to a clean/empty directory.</p>
  
  <p>My question is basically:  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><strong>Are the source files eventually located in the Eclipse workspace directory?</strong> </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Can anyone please advise?</p>
  
  <p>Regards,</p>
