Re: [m2e-users] WAR dependency not working in m2e

[Miguel Almeida <migueldealmeida@xxxxxxxxx>]

On a follow-up, I attach a simple test case with a parent and 2 modules.
- module1 is WAR
- module2 is jar

If you run "mvn test" in the parent, it works.

If you import it into eclipse and try to run module2's CopiedSpringPropertiesTest:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [originalApplicationContext.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist
    at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader.loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.java:341)

originalApplicationContext.xml is in module1. 
I installed m2e-wtp in my Eclipse, but the configuration in the zip file doesn't work.

Perhaps this is easier to understand what the problem might be.

Cheers,

Miguel Almeida

Dear all,

I have a following project structure configured in Eclipse Indigo:

-parent:
----------acceptance
----------webApp (type war)

My acceptance depends on webApp, so I added the dependency:

        <dependency>(...)
            <artifactId>webApp</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
            <type>TYPE</type>
        </dependency>

When TYPE=WAR my junit tests fail in Eclipse. If TYPE=jar they work correctly, but my CI server (and maven in CLI, I presume) will fail saying they can't find webApp.jar.

I read something about this in http://ykyuen.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/maven-dependency-on-jarwar-package/, so I decided to give it a go:
- My maven-war-plugin snippet at webApp became [1]
- I added <classifier>classes</classifier> to the dependency in acceptance.

While both my CI server and "mvn test" work correctly, running an acceptance test from Eclipse fails as before, with a java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError tracked down to "java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [spring-sessionFactory.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist". This file is in webApp/src/main/resources.


Could you tell me what I am doing wrong? Do you know what is causing this and what the correct configuration should be?

Miguel Almeida
