You should really work the other way round: take maven's directory structure (far better), and create the eclipse descriptor with: mvn -Dwtpversion=1.0 eclipse:eclipse See http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/wtp.html for more details Denis. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/incorrect-war-file-structure-tf2072468.html#a5708197 Sent from the Maven - Users forum at Nabble.com.
I understand that , that would work better but I do not have the liberty to change the directory structure now to the maven structure.The war plugin in document ( http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/adding-filtering-webresources.html talk about specifying what it calls an external resource using the <webResources> <resource> <directory>/path-to-external-directory</directory> and then under the section "Overriding the default destination directory of a web resource") says it should be possible to specify what it calls an external resource and override the target directory ie the directory where you want the resources to be copied to , by specifying <targetPath> in my case its <targetPath>WEB-INF/classes</targetPath> I just don't understand why I won't work.
