It seems like I've battled with this before, but it escapes me now.
I have a dynamic web project that I've assembled from an existing WAR.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the required jars for the project to
actually deploy into WEB-INF/lib when the WAR is constructed. The project
has no errors in Eclipse, but when I export the WAR, the WEB-INF/lib
directory is empty.
In the Eclipse project, I have a "lib" subdirectory that contains all the
jars, and I've put all of those jars into the build path.
I've tried to use the "J2EE Module Dependencies" page, because I thought
this controlled what goes into WEB-INF/lib. In that dialog, I selected
all the jars for this project and clicked OK. When I then go back into
this dialog, all of those jars are unselected again.
When I export the project to a WAR file, it leaves the WEB-INF/lib
directory empty.
I tried to deploy the project to Tomcat 6.0.14, but the context root is
never available (gets 404). I see no deployment errors in the Tomcat
console.
