Re: [m2e-wtp-dev] application.xml overwritten?

Hi,
Correct, I had both  Preferences > Maven  > Java EE Integration > "Generate application.xml under the build directory" and  Preferences > Maven  > Java EE Integration > "Maven Archiver generates files under  the build directory" unchecked.

I attach a sample workspace consisting on a EAR with a web project. Both have deployment descriptor: the EAR's deployment descriptor has the web module and a security role, and the Web project's deployment descriptor has a context parameter and a list of welcome pages.

To recreate, I did this:
1. Uncheck both options under Preferences > Maven  > Java EE Integration
2. Import the projects in the attached file
3. Convert the Web project to maven (Configure > Convert to Maven project). Use war for packaging. The deployment descriptor is left untouched (which is fine)
4. Convert the EAR project to maven, using ear for packaging. The original deployment descriptor is replaced by a new one, which has only the display name.  So the security roles and the modules are lost.

Is the result in point 4 the expected behavior?   I'm using m2e 1.2,0, m2e-wtp 0.16.0 and Java EE package for Juno SR1.




Note: the original main was sent to m2e-dev mail list, but I believe this is more related to m2e-wtp, therefore I'm sending this to m2e-wtp-dev mail list.

Subject: application.xml overwritten?





Hi,

I just saw a question Roberto's asked on IRC yesterday (sorry I missed it) : "Have you seen in the past, or recently, problems when converting an EAR project to Maven? Specifically, if the EAR has deploymentt descriptor with contents, it gets overwritten by a new deployment descriptor with no content"

Only thing I can think of is if you unchecked Preferences > Maven  > Java EE Integration > "Generate application.xml under the build directory". But even then, the application.xml should have some content (at least the <application> root).

Roberto, can you try reproducing the error with a sample project?

Fred
