Hi Fabrizio, thank you for your quick reply. Comments inline.

I added springframework 1.2.5 as dependency. m2 retrieves the jar and puts it to ws\my-webapp\target\my-webapp\WEB-INF\lib It also makes it to the m2-built war from there. Eclipse is informed about the jar by adding M2_REPO/springframework/spring/1.2.5/spring-1.2.5.jar to .classpath So this works almost as I hoped. However, eclipse does not understand that it should add this lib from the target folder to .deployables, from where Eclipse debugs the application using Eclipse's tomcat integration. Rather Eclipse seems to expect the lib in the src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\lib folder. I manually copied it there, and Eclipse automatically inserted spring.1.2.5.jar into the web apps library and .deployables. That would mean I have to manually copy everything from target/my-webapp/WEB-INF/lib to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/lib Probably this is not how it is meant to be: How can I provide external jars for a parent project, so that they "appear in the list of compiled modules and are added as module dependencies", as you said above? I created a parent pom.xml and used m2 eclipse:eclipse from the parent folder. I also updated the child pom.xml files to have a parent element that points back to the parent. My parent pom.xml: <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd";> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <artifactId>app</artifactId> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modules> <module>my-app</module> <module>my-webapp</module> </modules> </project> Also missing is the project dependency from my-webapp to my-app, Eclipse does not get the dependency yet. >>I have the problem that eclipse complains about a missing >>WEB-INF/classes classes folder, which seems to come from a "Web app >>library [artifact]" containing a my-webapp/WEB-INF/classes source path >>with a marker saying "(missing)". This disappeared after I selected my-webapp instead of artifact in Eclipse. So I have to enter the artifactId in the pom.xml like so: <java.lang.String> org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.web.container/my-webapp </java.lang.String> instead of <java.lang.String> org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.web.container/artifact </java.lang.String> I assumed, some magic might replace the artifactId for artifact. M2 newbie question: Is it possible to refer to the artifactId, as if it were a variable, in the pom.xml? Thank you for all your hard work. Do you have a HOWTO already? Maybe I could write one if I get all this to work. Regards, Dietrich
