Keith Naas commented on MECLIPSE-360: ------------------------------------- And I forgot a third fix that was part of this. 3. Exclusions that we had defined in DependencyManagement were not being applied to the generated eclipse files. I have changed the dependency exclusion code to take DependencyManagement exclusions into account. > Optional web app dependencies are not treated the same way as maven-ear-plugin > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MECLIPSE-360 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-360 > Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: WTP support > Affects Versions: 2.5 > Environment: eclipse 3.3.0, wtp 2.0.1, jboss 4.2.2 > Reporter: Keith Naas > Attachments: MECLIPSE-360.patch > > > Based on the information in > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/examples/skinny-wars.html, > we have dependencies declared in our EARs so that all dependencies reside in > the ear instead of being isolated (and duplicated) in each of the contained > war's "WEB-INF\lib". This is done by declaring the war dependencies as > optional. Proper manifest entries are added to the war, and the resulting > ear contains all of the necessary jars. > When running "mvn install" for such an ear project, the resulting ear is > created correctly. > When running "mvn eclipse:eclipse" for such an ear project, and then using > WTP to deploy the artificact to a server (e.g. tomcat or jboss), the > generated ear contains a war where all of those war optional dependencies are > packaged in the war. This results in ClassLoader mayhem. It appears that > this is happening because AbstractWtpResourceWriter adds the optional war > dependencies with a specific deployPath of "WEB-INF\lib". To fix this, we > would need to either add the "optional" flag to the IDEDependency and then > use it withing AbstractWtpResourceWriter.writeWarOrEarResources to only use > assign a "WEB-INF\lib" deployDir if the IDEDepedency is not optional. > I can make those changes and create a patch file so that the > maven-eclipse-plugin is made consistent with the maven-ear-plugin. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
