Re: [m2e-users] maven web apps not loading in Eclipse with M2E

Hi Steve,

I don't know about Webby but I have used m2e (and previously M2Eclipse) with the WTP-integration and as you said, it was kind of struggle to get things to work. However, I have noticed a great improvement in usability since Eclipse 3.7 for m2e and WTP integration. Honestly I was surprised (in a good way) of how simple it was to get it to work. You check out your project and you automatically get a project set up with the correct facets. If you modify your pom.xml in a way that this should be reflect in your project facets or deployment descriptor, just use the "Update project configuration" and you should be good to go (I have tested this, e.g., with the compiler target level, with the final name of the war, and some other stuffs and it worked like a charm).

Congratulations to the developers.

Guillaume

I should further mention that I am already fighting the battle of the bulge with eclipse + m2e. Adding another heavyweight component to the mix scares me a little. This is why I might prefer webby if it can do what I need it to.

Thanks, Rafał.

I suspected I hadn't installed something I needed.

But now you give me two choices m2e-wtp and webby. :-(

I'd vaguely heard of the former, the latter is new to me.

Can you help me answer the question, which one? I learn that wtp is more
full-featured but sometimes painfully slow and webby is faster but lacks
some things.

I am doing development of a web service. No presentation layer in this
project. Can webby handle this or does it need the JEE support of m2e-wtp?

Hi Steve,

m2e by itself does not support web application development. You need an
additional integration module. At this point there are two alternatives
available: m2e-wtp and webby. Search the list archives for more
information. If you are using one of those modules already, you need to
tell us which one.

Cheers,
Rafał

I haven't tried before to deploy web apps built with maven on the
Tomcat server running from Eclipse using m2e. I have an app that runs
just fine when deployed as a WAR file on a Tomcat Server, but this app
and another, much simpler app, fail to load under Eclipse. The error
message in the Tomcat console is.

SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

Yet the class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener is
in the Maven dependencies.

A non-maven webapp loads without difficulty in this environment.

Is there something I need to do with m2e to get this to work?
