Having a hard-coded, absolute path for your build directory for your
project(s) is a bad bad practice. It makes your project(s) not portable
across machines.
It certainly isn't supported in m2e.

You can use any non-default directory for your project, in m2e, as long as
it's located under your project.

Now if you could explain the rationale of having such a setup, we might
help you find a proper solution.
