Add maven-managed dependencies as project J2EE Module Dependencies

         Key: MNGECLIPSE-105
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-105
     Project: Maven 2.x Extension for Eclipse
        Type: Wish

  Components: Dependency Resolver  
    Versions: 0.0.5    
 Environment: Eclipse 3.1.2 with WTP 1.0, using Tomcat 5.5 for running webapp 
projects. Maven 2.x Extension for Eclipse
    Reporter: Daniel Fernández
 Assigned to: Eugene Kuleshov 



When creating a WTP's Dynamic Web project with eclipse, following a maven2 
directory structure and creating a pom.xml file for it using the Maven 2.x 
Extension for Eclipse,  everything works ok with dependencies as these are 
added to the project build path (under the "Maven 2 Dependencies" folder) as 
soon as they are added to the pom.xml

But, when this project is being run in a Tomcat Server from eclipse, these 
dependencies are not being added to the WEB-INF/lib directory. This could be 
done by adding, for each newly added dependency and its transitive dependencies 
(not having scope "provided" or "test") an entry into the 
".settings/.component" file like these:

<dependent-module deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" 
handle="module:/classpath/var/M2_REPO/commons-collections/commons-collections/2.1/commons-collections-2.1.jar">
  <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
</dependent-module>

(this one was written by the maven-eclipse-plugin, which creates these entries)

This way webapps created from eclipse and managed by maven could be 
automatically run in Tomcat from Eclipse.

Regards,
   Daniel.
