I was having another issue with lots of errors in my WTP project where
dependencies were not being resolved. I un-installed m2eclipse-extras and
now both problems are solved. Well, solved in the sense that I don't get the
errors anymore but I of course don't get the benefits of the WTP
functionality in m2eclipse-extras.
I noticed the following odd behaviour that might help you reproduce the
problem
- Open the Maven console
- Create a 'foo' directory in src/main and put at least 1 file in it
- Have a <webResource> section in your maven-war-plugin definition in the
pom.xml
- In the <webResource> have a "<targetPath>WEB-INF/foo</targetPath>" and
a "<directory>src/main/foo</directory>"
- This does seem to work though I notice the following problems
- When editing the pom.xml I have to save the file twice. On the first
save after actually making the edit I can see in the Maven
console that the
change was not picked up. When I re-save the file I see that it is picked
up.
- It seems if you have an <includes> section then it doesn't include
*anything*. Again, you can see this output in the Maven console
- Now, as soon as the foo directory is moved outside of the project root
something very strange seems to happen.
- It my case the console output claims that 91 files have been copied
to WEB-INF/foo
- When I actually look inside the m2e-wtp folder (I assume this is the
correct folder), I see inside m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/foo
a 'target'
directory which contains an empty 'classes' directory. No 91 files to be
found, nor my actual expected test file that I actually have inside foo
So clearly there are some odd bugs in this whole setup. I have had to
uninstall m2eclipse-extras to make my workspace usable again.
Let me know if I can provide anymore information

Collin
