This is because you're using m2e and entirely normal.
m2e needs to follow Maven conventions to use a Maven process for 
building projects. Which means you get a "target" folder instead of a 
"bin" folder (and different folders below that).

Be aware that m2e also takes control of various compiler settings, you 
need to set these from the pom.xml.
Maven -> Upgdate Project Configuration transfers the pom.xml settings to 
Eclipse's Java configuration.
