Hi group, hi myEclipse support team,

I just work very well with myEclipse Web Projects and one amazing feature is the hot deployment. My servlet engine is Tomcat 5.5.
Now I just have started migrating a project to a maven 2 and its structure:

Required structure
src/main/java
src/main/webapp

I have problems getting the web root folder set the the Maven required src/main/webapp as myEclipse says that the web root folder (default is WebRoot) cannot be located below the src folder.

Is there a work around or anything to get this problem solved?

Thanks in advance

Karsten,
I’m sorry to say at the moment MyEclipse doesn’t work well with a Maven2 project structure. But that is something we are evaluating heavily for a future release.

Thanks in advance

Hi Riyad,
I found this topic on the Web

http://www.octonary.com/blog/?p=37

I test it and report my test here

Thanks

simon we weren’t aware of this post, that’s great. Thank you for diving in on this.

Hi,
I test to create a new Web Project with MyEclipse with a Maven structure
Java source : src/main/java
Webroot dir : src/main/webapp

When you create a new Web Project, replace in source folder filed “src” by “src/main/java” and replace in Web roto folder “WebRoot” by “src/main/webapp”

You have a Web Project with maven structure, I don’t test with maven at the moment but I do it soon.

Sorry for my bad English

Hi,
I tested compilation with maven, that functions without problem. I do not have to test yet the generation of the WAR via Maven but that should function.
Highly Maven Integrated Into MyEclipse: -)

My structure :

src
 |-main
  |-java
  |-ressources
  |-webapp
|-test
 |-java
 |-ressources

I can poster my files classpath and mymetadata if you wish it, as well as the file project.xml for maven

Simon,
Typically the problem is when folks put their web.xml/struts-config/faces-config/etc. files under /src/main/resources and MyEclipse expects them under /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF in order to resolve dependencies and autocomplete.

Have you tried that yet?

[Simon TOSSER]

No I don’t try that yet, but that’s workmaybe with symlinks (under unix/linux )

I use MyEclipse with maven project structure, no real problems (aside from the obvious one of classpath vs pom dependencies which is not purely a MyEclipse issue although if Genuitec can solve it should attract alot of interest/customers).

I put all my resources in /src/main/resources, and add that as a src folder on classpath with output into WEB-INF/classes like so:
<classpathentry kind=”src” path=”src/main/resources”/>
<classpathentry kind=”output” path=”src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes”/>
