[m2e-users] M2E WTP breaks my project structure

[Emmanuel GUITON <Emmanuel.GUITON@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

 

I have a Maven project for a webapp with a custom directory structure. For instance :

·         I have not test folder

·         sources are located in a ‘sources’ folder

·         web resources are located in a ‘web-resources’ folder.

When I update the project configuration, it results in a broken eclipse configuration :

·         a ‘src/main/webapp’ folder is automatically created, though it is not referenced in the POM, and is added to the web deployment assembly

·         my web resource folder (appropriately defined in the pom) is not added to the web deployment assembly (it is removed if it was added manually)

·         my sources folder is also ignored in the web deployment assembly, and also removed if it was added manually

·         a ‘src/test/java’ entry is added in the project java build path, and eclipse complains the folder is missing (indeed). The entry reappears if it was manually deleted.

 

It seems to me that the m2e-wtp plugins ignores the pom.xml content and just follows the default maven project structure.

Is there any way to make it respect the correct project structure ? And avoid to override the correct eclipse project settings ?

 

I use eclipse indigo and m2e-wtp 0.16.

Here are the relevant parts of my pom.xml :

 

                <build>

                               <defaultGoal>install</defaultGoal>

                               <finalName>libra-${project.artifactId}</finalName>

                               <sourceDirectory>${basedir}/sources/</sourceDirectory>

                               <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory>

                               <directory>${basedir}/target/</directory>

                              

                                <resources>

                                               <resource>

                                                               <filtering>false</filtering>

                                                               <directory>sources</directory>

                                                               <excludes>

                                                                              <exclude>**/*.java</exclude>

                                                               </excludes>

                                               </resource>

                               </resources>

 

                               <plugins>

                                               <plugin>

                                                               <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                                                               <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>

                                                               <version>2.2</version>

                                                               <configuration>

                                                                              <webResources>

                                                                                              <resource>

                                                                                                              <filtering>false</filtering>

                                                                                                              <directory>web-resources</directory>

                                                                                                              <includes>

                                                                                                                             <include>**.*</include>

                                                                                                              </includes>

                                                                                              </resource>

                                                                              </webResources>

                                                                              <webXml>${basedir}/web-resources/WEB-INF/web.xml</webXml>

                                                                               <webappDirectory>${basedir}/target/${project.build.finalName}</webappDirectory>

                                                                              <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/servlet-api*.jar</packagingExcludes>

                                                               </configuration>

                                               </plugin>

                               </plugins>

                </build>

 

Thanks,
