Since I upgraded to 2.7 I’ve been getting the following warning.
“Missing ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptor in META-INF folder”
It occurs on all my EJB projects.
I took a quick look around but didn’t see anything in regards to this on the forums.
I got it with Eclipse 2.1.2 and now with 2.1.3. This doesn’t prevent anything from working, it just isn’t consistent with what is actually occuring.
TIA for your assistance.
no. but i think i have figured out why this occurs.
my source folder isn’t the default “src”…we use “src/java” for whatever reason at this site. in addition, we modified the “deploymentdescriptor” xdoclet param to point the destDir to “classes/META-INF”…same with the jboss.destDir.
therefore we never have the META-INF folder in the “src” folder, which is apparently the only “hardcoded” place that MyEclipse looks for the ejb-jar.xml file.
I tried changing the destDir’s for deploymentdescriptor and jboss doclets to my source folder “src/java”. It produced the META-INF folder and appropriate files “ejb.jar.xml” et al but it still didn’t eliminate the warning.
It seems that the only way to not get the warning is to have the deploymentdescriptor target the “src” folder…(seems wrong).
anyway, thanks for the quick response. you guys are doing a great job.

one more thing. if you do fix this, i would like it to look in the “destDir” folder of the “deploymentdescriptor” doclet parameters if something is defined…else it should look at the source folder (not sure what you would do if someone sets up multiple source folders in eclipse though). probably should always look for ejb-jar.xml in the “output” folder/META-INF that way you don’t have to mess around with all that complexity.
keep in mind that you “can” set up multiple output folders too…(which i’m sure you are aware of).
hope it helps.
Presently ME looks in the root of your src folder for the META-INF folder, e.g., <my_project>/src/META-INF. There is a plan and development effort working on providing much more sophisticated flexible project structure. I believe our approach may be to allow a user to set the location as a project property with the current behavior being the default location.
