Eclipse-Maven: Updating project excludes src/main/resources folder from build path

Question

I upgraded my Spring Tool Suite today and since then I am stuck on bulding the project correctly. When I Maven->Update Project, it EXCLUDES src/main/resources folder. If I 'Remove' that exclusion (make it 'Excluded(None)'), things works fine. But, when I again do Maven->Update Project, it comes down to this.

I've explored 100's of links but no luck so far. Things were working fine before the update.

How can I get Maven include src/main/resources and src/test/resources?

.classpath file when the resource folders gets included (the one I desire to get generated by default):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
    <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/classes" path="src/main/java">
        <attributes>
            <attribute name="optional" value="true"/>
            <attribute name="maven.pomderived" value="true"/>
        </attributes>
    </classpathentry>
    <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/classes" path="src/main/resources">
        <attributes>
            <attribute name="maven.pomderived" value="true"/>
        </attributes>
    </classpathentry>
    <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/test-classes" path="src/test/java">
        <attributes>
            <attribute name="optional" value="true"/>
            <attribute name="maven.pomderived" value="true"/>

    </classpathentry>

    </classpathentry>
    <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/>
</classpath>

.classpath file when I do Maven->Update project

Answer 1

If i take a look at my eclipse configuration this looks exactly like yours with the exclusion.
