David,

This is quite interesting point that you point it out. Do you know  
how I can
make maven stop generating the MANIFEST.MF file?

I think you want maven to generate the manifest.mf file but not  
include a CLASS-PATH entry.  However, I don't know how to make this  
happen.

thanks

Hi bongosdude,

It looks like the war plugin is not javaee-5 aware.  Anything you put
in the ear lib directory gets into the ear classloader which is a
parent to the war classloader.  Thus you don't need the war manifest
classpath entries at all in an ee5 container such as geronimo.  Your
solution should work but is unnecessarily complicated.  Since the
maven plugin isn't ee-5 aware it may be easier not to stop generating
the manifest classpath entries.

Thanks for pointing this out!  I created a maven jira in case anyone
there wants to work on this...  http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-178

Hi,

I found the an interesting thing about the problem that I reported
in this
post thread. Basically, I set up my project as maven and then
convert the
build EAR into eclipse projects so that I can debug my ejb and war
app using
GEP (please also see my other post from
http://www.nabble.com/car-maven-plugin-and-GEP-to21095185s134.html
to see
how this can be done.) I have followed the practice to bundle my WAR
project
so that it refers all lib dependencies to its EAR lib directory.  
This
practice is well documented as skinny war (please see
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/skinny-wars.html)
.
The interesting here is that maven is quite smart to handle  
transitive
dependency and as a result, mave generates my war META-INF/
METAFEST.MF to
refer to some missing jar files in EAR lib directory. Once I
manually added
these jars file to my ear pom.xml file, I fixed the mysterious
"JAVAEE 5
Section 8.2" problem.

Thanks for all excellent supports from this forum who has made
geronimo well
JEE app and product.

Background

I encountered this problem that I do not quite understand. I set
up my
demo after I looked at the car-maven-plugin, m2eclipse and the
geronimo
sample calculator. I have manually created my demo project by
using maven
achetype-create with groupId=org.apache.geronimo.samples and
archytypeId=geronimo-samples-archetypes. And then I tweaked POM
files
generated by looking at calculator POM files. I had to go through
this
manual process because my web application is Tapestry5. And I have
to add
dependencies to POM files. Maven build sub projects successfully
except
when it tried to build jetty and tomcat CAR plugin. Here are the
error
messages that I got:

[WARN]  Web application callingcard-war-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war does  
not
contain a WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml deployment plan.  This may or
may not
be a problem, depending on whether you have things like resource
references that need to be resolved.  You can also give the
deployer a
separate deployment plan file on the command line.

This option can be altered by specifying

Specify ="true" for more lenient processing such as ignoring
missing jars
and references that are not spec compliant.

Questions:

1. It seems that I got my first error is that I did not create
WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml. I can define the option
-DXorg.apache.geronimo.deployment.LenientMFCP=true to make the  
build
successful. However, I looked at the calculator, it does not have
the
WEB-INF/geronimo-web.xml but maven does not fail when it builds
jetty/tomcat car plugin. So why do I have this error? What do I
miss in
my pom files?

2. Can somesome explain what
DXorg.apache.geronimo.deployment.LenientMFCP=true|false does?

Thank for any helps
