Are you using m2e-wtp <http://www.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/>? It's required if you expect your project to be configured and deployed to any WTP server. It's actually server agnostic, only tells WTP what to deploy stuff to a server (the deployment assembly). The general rule with m2e/m2e-wtp is : pom.xml config controls the eclipse settings You should never manually change the deployment assembly page (which is a front-end for .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component) as its settings are controlled by the maven-war-plugin configuration. basically what's deployed is : - src/main/webapp : your primary web resources - target/m2e-wtp/web-resources : generated stuff / secondary web resources. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/M2E-WTP_FAQ#What_is_this_web_resources_folder.3F
Similarly, the maven-compiler-plugin configuration controls the java settings in eclipse (it's an m2e core feature). So you need to make sure it explicitely declares java 1.6 (as it defaults to 1.5) in order to get your eclipse compiler set accordingly. The deployment part is the server adapter's responsibility (read: oracle's plugin for glassfish, jboss tools for jboss as ...). In theory, deploying a war to glassfish should be exactly the same as what's shown on the screencast in http://www.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/ for tomcat. Any deviation / unexpected behaviour from that can be a feature/bug in the server adapter (like https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=10608918) OR m2e-wtp, so you'd need to provide a sample project with exact steps to reproduce the problem, so we can investigate what's causing the issue.
