Hans, First some background... Eclipse has a set of plugins (collectively known as the Web Tools Project - WTP) which provide support for JEE development. One of the most useful areas of functionality is support for various servlet containers. You can run your web apps inside the IDE with full support for hot code replace etc. Importantly WTP seamlessly manages the behind the scenes exploded webapp stuff so you don't need to fuss around with building wars all the time.
Now as you know, your average JEE web app has a load of stuff that ends up under the WEB-INF folder. I'm not a fan of putting configuration files (spring xml files, localisation files etc) in the src/main/webapp/WEB-INF folder, rather they were in a dedicated conf folder. Doing this means that to get WTP to work, you have to tell it to "map" the files in your dedicated conf folder into the WEB-INF folder. This is what I use the warResourceMappings bit for. Hope that's clear enough - I mention another use as a comment on the jira issue. Phil. hdockter wrote: > > Hi Phil, > > what are the warResourceMappings in your EclipsePlugin about?
