Ability to map a webapp to the root context
-------------------------------------------
Key: MECLIPSE-652
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-652
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: WTP support
Affects Versions: 2.8
Reporter: fabrizio giustina
Priority: Trivial
There is no way at the moment to map a webapp to the root context.
A root context is configured in the org.eclipse.wst.common.component file using:
{code}
<property name="context-root" value=""/>
{code}
However, setting an empty wtpContextName in pom.xml makes the eclipse plugin
default to the artifact id for the context root, giving no way to set it to an
empty value.
In order to make it configurable without breaking the old behavior we could use
the magic word "ROOT" to map the webapp to the root context, just like tomcat
commonly does (in order to map a webapp to the root context a common option in
tomcat is to name it "ROOT")
{code}
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<wtpContextName>ROOT</wtpContextName>
</configuration>
</plugin>
{code}
