I've just tried running a web application with webby 0.1.0.201106240305 and it failed to start with message "Could not locate configuration for maven-war-plugin". Here's POM for the war project I was trying to launch: http://objectledge.org/fisheye/browse/cyklotron/trunk/cyklotron-webapp/pom.xml?hb=true#to105 As you can see maven-war-plugin configuration definitely is in there :).
What the error meant to say is that the maven-war-plugin configuration was not found for the cyklotron-ui overlay project.
This works with standalone maven build. I haven't checked yet if current m2e-wtp can handle it. 0.12.x and lower definitely could not. I don't know if it's supposed to be in webby. Even if not, more informative error message would be nice.
Yes, the error message isn't helpful right now. Besides, in the future Webby should try and fallback to resolve the overlay WAR from the repo and use that when the project is not of war packaging.
