Hans,
First some background... Eclipse has a set of plugins (collectively
known as
the Web Tools Project - WTP) which provide support for JEE
development. One
of the most useful areas of functionality is support for various
servlet
containers. You can run your web apps inside the IDE with full
support for
hot code replace etc. Importantly WTP seamlessly manages the behind
the
scenes exploded webapp stuff so you don't need to fuss around with
building
wars all the time.
Now as you know, your average JEE web app has a load of stuff that
ends up
under the WEB-INF folder. I'm not a fan of putting configuration files
(spring xml files, localisation files etc) in the src/main/webapp/
WEB-INF
folder, rather they were in a dedicated conf folder. Doing this
means that
to get WTP to work, you have to tell it to "map" the files in your
dedicated
conf folder into the WEB-INF folder. This is what I use the
warResourceMappings bit for.
That makes sense now to me.
Before I switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ I have always installed
Wtp, but only to get the XML editor :)

Hope that's clear enough - I mention another use as a comment on
the jira
issue.
Phil.

Hi Phil,
what are the warResourceMappings in your EclipsePlugin about? Sorry
if this is a stupid question, but I have no experience with Eclipse
WTP files.
