This is my projects configuration:

EAR project relies on:

– Web Project
– EJB Project

Clicking on the EAR project and selecting “MyEclipse/New Module Manifest”, the following error occurs:

ENTRY com.genuitec.eclipse.ast.deploy.core 1 0 2005-11-06 12:40:37.504

We had a bug with this before that should have been fixed in 4.0.1.

Can you try something, try doing File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace, hit OK.

1) Create a new EAR
2) Choose to create a new Web and EJB project, using defaults for everything si fine.
3) Now execute the new manifest menu item on the EAR… did it work?

4) IF SO, go back to your old workspace, try the new EAR/Web/EJB thing there, did it work?
5) IF NOT, try and add -clean to your command line args, and restart MYEclipse with your existing workspace, now try again.

Yes, it works.

It works.

My Web Project is different from a default project, because the web resources are not in “WebRoot”, but (as you can see from the error log) they are in “public_html”. I hope that this could help.
Thank you for your support.

[Riyad Kalla]

Did you setup public_html as the name of your WebRoot dir? If you open up your Project Properties for the web project, and go to MyEclipse-Web, what is your Web-root folder set to? If it’s not set to public_html, it needs to be. You can change that by editing the .mymetadata file from your Navigator view.

[KionCineca]

Of course, it is.

[KionCineca]

Ok, I’ve found the problem.
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF must already exist (I’ve crated an empty one).
If “META-INF/MANIFEST.MF” doesn’t exist in the Web Project, MyEcipse does not create it, but it complains with the error reported in my original message.

[Scott Anderson]

Glad you found it. We’ve entered a bug report on it so we can fix it in the 4.1 build. Thanks for hanging in there while we figured out what was going on. We appreciate the help.
