But because you have Eclipse resolve dependencies from the workspace, it will resolve to the lib's target/classes (because it won't package the lib –don't ask me why, M2Eclipse decision, Maven's weird/broken lifecycles–), and thus copying fails because the maven-war-plugin expects a JAR file and not a directory. The root problem is that Eclipse wants to package the webapp. As said several times already, you can workaround this by disabling "resolve dependencies from the workspace", but then you have to "mvn install" the library, and it severely hurts the developer experience (the original subject of this thread). You may also want to use a more recent maven-war-plugin version, just in case… The solution though is to go ask Eclipse/M2Eclipse experts why the hell Eclipse wants to package your webapp. And to do that, you need to make the smallest possible project that reproduces the problem.

This is different from MojoHaus, which just happens to (unfortunately and confusingly) reuse the term. Note: the fact you have an error about the MojoHaus plugin when running "gwt:devmode" in the root project is because you don't explicitly use the net.ltgt.gwt.maven plugin in this project, and Maven defaults to trying out plugins from org.codehaus.mojo. > There seem to exist people without those problems.

Again: the problem is the Eclipse wants to package your webapp; you need to figure out why and how to turn it off. And I believe this has nothing to do with the fact that you use GWT in your project (except possibly that it'll enable some behaviors in Eclipse; isolating the smallest possible project that triggers the error would determine whether this is the case). It could be due to some Eclipse plugin you have installed, possibly even the GWT Eclipse Plugin, or to some configuration in your Eclipse install that differs from the default one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
