We never use anything outside Eclipse/STS and do not have any problems with Maven.

I don't understand why you have m2e installed with STS.

Yes, that's what I uninstalled, the STS one.  Funny there were no
conflicts noticed prior.

And it's weird behavior still - it works at Eclipse start but not on
clean or incremental builds.  Restarting Eclipse causes it to work but
then it stops after one build.  If I delete its dir and the dep
plugin's markers dir and then force Eclipse incremental or clean
build, I see the "Unpacking..." message in the Eclipse "Maven Console"
view, but it doesn't do it.  At least it works at Eclipse start, but
requires running Maven build manually to make it happen again.

Did you have 2 m2e installations?
STS includes m2e.

Fixed.

We also use Spring STS, and, whatever its "Spring STS Maven Support" is,
it
was preventing m2e from executing it.
Uninstalling just the STS Maven Support feature magically made it work.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried the dependency plugin.  Works great as a Maven goal.  I have not
found a m2e lifecycle mapping for unpack yet; finding some info, so hope
to
make it work within the IDE.
Tried this [0] with <execute/> but only removed the warning of no
lifecycle mapped.  Will continue trying to find the answer, as it appears
to work for others...

Hi,

If I understood correctly, what I'd do is make a dummy pom with a
maven-dependency-plugin:unpack goal with output directory as the working
directory, then just build that dummy project whenever you want.

Another thing you can do is overlay the .war when building the test
module, or vice versa, using the maven-war-plugin.

I don't have problems running either of these plugins in Eclipse.

Hope this helps,

We have some integration tests and prefer to use an embedded Tomcat
instance vs deploying to an external, running server (avoid external
dep
problem).  The tests are in a separate module than the war module.  The
need is to retrieve the built war from the local repo and explode it
into
the working directory for the embedded instance.

We're also trying to avoid using a Maven plugin to retrieve and explode
the
war to prevent problems with running the tests in IDEs (Eclipse + m2e
and
IDEA).  (However, possibly a Maven plugin wouldn't cause problems for
them?)

I'm wondering if anyone has solved this in a simple manner.  I've been
googling, reading, and trying a few things and have not found an answer
(perhaps I'm close but missing a final how-to).  I've investigated
things
like Shrinkwrap, java.util.jar.JarFile, and bloggers' own craptaculous
approaches on file manipulations, and now wondering if Aether is what
to
try next.  What I've seen keeps looking like brute-force coding...

I'm close to moving the ITs into the war module, as the packaged war is
right there in target...
However, would be good to know a good way or two of solving retrieval
of
artifacts from the local repo.
