Hi,

It look like it isn’t possible to got a different Deploy Location or Web Context-root when the warName configuration property of plugin ‘maven-war-plugin’ is set.
Because it always pick the warName property instead of the finalName property.

So in this example

myAppDev

is ignored:

<build>
        <sourceDirectory>src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
        <finalName>myAppDev</finalName>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>src/main/java</directory>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.6</source>
                    <target>1.6</target>                    
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.5</version>
                <configuration>
                    <warName>${project.artifactId} ${project.version}(${bambooBuildNumber})</warName>                    
                    <outputDirectory>D:\builds\myAppDev\</outputDirectory>                    
                </configuration>
            </plugin>        
        </plugins>
    </build>

The warName

myAppDev_2.10(${bambooBuildNumber})

is useless for dev deploy on the Tomcat runtime. Only the warName is used for bamboo CI.

How is it possible to set the Web Context-root or deploy location in the project pom.xml?

rspan,

Please check this link which describes how to change the context root. You can see that it is related to maven and not a MyEclipse issue. Check if Maven profiles might help you in this case.

Please let us know if there are any MyEclipse features that are causing this problem.

Thank you.

Setting the property

<m2eclipse.wtp.contextRoot>MyAppDev</m2eclipse.wtp.contextRoot>

Did the trick.
