Jenkins package project out of his workspace - maven

Question

I tried to build maven war projects with Jenkins.
Jenkins pulls the code and builds the project. However, the build is not in the workspace, but rather in a folder with the project source. I think Jenkins takes the target folder from maven pom file and builds it.
How can I tune Jenkins to make a build and deploy pipeline?
In the deploy phase Jenkins cannot find war file.
OS is windows, IDE - eclipse.

The way I coped with a problem:
In pom.xml:
<properties>
<baseFolder>${basedir}</baseFolder>
</properties>
<build>
<directory>${baseFolder}/target</directory>
</directory>
In Jenkins run build maven build with properties
baseFolder=$WORKSPACE
