Hi,

I am having problems with the EJB project’s META-INF not being deployed for some reason. Looking at the Properties of the EJB project under External Tools Builders there is one (the first item in the list ) is marked with red X called ‘Invalid External Build Tool’ .
What should I do?

Thanks,

Erez

A few questions:

0) What version of MyEclipse, Eclipse, and OS are you using? What is the name of the tool that is marked invalid?

1) Are you using XDoclet for EJB code generation and deployment maintenance?

2) How do you know your having trouble with the META-INF contents not being deployed? If you used the MyEclipse EJB Project Wizard it should have created a META-INF directory. If you’re using XDoclet for you EJB creation then it will create and maintain your ejb-jar.xml file.

3) If you’re not using XDoclet then simply create a /META-INF folder under your EJB Project’s src folder. Then manually create and edit an ejb-jar.xml file. I’m a proponent of step #2, using XDoclet.

I solved it and it works just fine now.

The META-INF directory must not be located directly under the EJB Project. It must be contained in some parent directory under the EJB Project directory. This containing directory can be given any name and must be listed in the project build paths list.

As for the invalid external build tool.. I just removed it – it was no required.

Thanks,

Erez
