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

[Rafał Krzewski <Rafal.Krzewski@xxxxxxxxx>]

Steve,

Webby is able to run WARs, no EARs or EJBs. If plain Tomcat is all that 
your web service needs to run, Webby will work for you.
That's what I'm using daily with great results. Other folks are having 
good experience with m2e-wtp too. There's been a lot of progress lately!

Cheers,
Rafał
