Maven project in eclipse - deployment assembly fails build
Sorry for being verbose...
I have some existing maven projects. I imported them into Eclipse using Maven -> Import existing Maven projects.
This gave me 6 individual projects and one project which lists all 6 under it. (The umbrella project has 6 modules defined in it which translated to 6 eclipse project - as I understand how maven works)
One of the project A requires two other project B and C (at compile time and run-time).
Build path - On the build path of A I have one of the libraries as Maven dependencies. And it builds fine.
Deployment assembly -
On the deployment assembly of A however there is no entry for deploy to web-inf/lib
. Because of that when tomcat starts it doesn't find any required jars or the project B and C.
So I added an entry to deployment assembly as : source - maven And dependencies deploy - web-inf/lib.
Tomcat comes up and my webapp for project A comes up.
This however breaks the eclipse build - upon build eclipse complains: "Invalid classpath publish export Project entries not supported"
This I see is because, under build path, there is new entry added to web-inf/lib to publish/export under maven-dependencies. Removing that removes maven entry from the deployment assembly as well.
The only workaround is that in the deployment assembly I specify the web-inf/lib
under target generated by maven but that causes stale copies of project B and C to be picked up.
Why I need this setting is because when I make changes to project B an开发者_运维知识库d C in Eclipse and build them in Eclipse I want to see the changes when I am debugging project A. I don't want to run maven builds on B and C again since its time consuming.
Any help is much appreciated.
I did try including the MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER
but that is always empty and when tomcat runs it cannot find the necessary libraries. (BTW what vale is the MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTATINER
set to?)
This is on Eclipse Indigo Mac OSX.
You need to add the relevant project/s to your Deployment Assembly.
Right Click Project -> Properties -> Deployment Assembly -> Add
I solved just doing this:
right click on my eclipse project-> Maven -> Update Project Configuration...
Figured it out ..but not completely...
So I added maven dependency in the deployment assembly as I mentioned earlier.
Maven dependency -> WEB-INF/lib
AND additionally added project B and C as well :
B -> WEB-INF/lib and C->WEB-INF/lib
Somehow this way B and C are not added to the publish/export in the java build path. I don't know how eclipse knows to not export B and C from maven repo but to export it from project B and C itself.
Anyways thats for some other day.. for now i m happy :)
For anyone else that searches for this, it seems that you can also manually add the following to the .classpath file
<classpathentry combineaccessrules="false" kind="src" path="/B"/>
By including Maven Dependencies, you are including dependencies for project B and project C. It turns out, you also have to include project B and C manually.
The exact fix which works is. project A -> properties -> Deployment Assembly
Click Add and then Project. Select B and C. Problem will get fixed after rebuilding.
I had this problem, but I believe none of these answers correctly fix the problem. Instead they workaround m2eclipse (which should manage classpaths and deployment assembly for you). For me, the problem that I was using m2eclipse without m2eclipse-wtp (a separate plugin).
See this SO answer for the plug-in details.
You can add the relevant projects / or maven java build path entry if using maven to your Deployment assembly (project -> properties -> deployment Assembly)
Then checks if theses relevant project are Facets compatible. (project -> Project Facets)
This error can occur if you have multiple entries of same jar in you class path. So you need to check your classpath and remove duplicate entries.
