-------------------------------------
Summary: JARs put to the root of EAR instead of lib
Key: MECLIPSE-741
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-741
Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: WTP support
Affects Versions: 2.9, 2.8
Environment: - Maven 3.0.5.
- Eclipse "Juno SR 1"
- Oracle JDK 1.6.0.45 64-bit
- Windows 7 64-bit
Reporter: mentallurg -
Priority: Critical
The pom.xml of EAR module defines a "lib" directory for JARs:
{{ <defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>}}
eclipse:eclipse generates org.eclipse.wst.common.component with errors. Each
JAR is prepended with "../".
Example:
{{ <dependent-module archiveName="../log4j-1.2.16.jar" deploy-path="lib" }}
"../" means that this JAR will be put to "lib/../", i.e. to the root of EAR.
When application is started, then JARs are not found under "lib" and the
application fails to start.
If deployment assembly is created manually in Eclipse, configuration looks as
follows:
{{ <dependent-module archiveName="log4j-1.2.16.jar" deploy-path="lib" }}
Then Eclipse puts JARs to the lib within EAR:
lib/log4j-1.2.16.jar
This is correct, applications starts and works correctly.
The prefix "../" should be removed from the archiveName.
According to the source code of AbstractWtpResourceWriter.java:
{quote}
// This is a very ugly hack around a WTP bug! a delpoydir in the configuration
file is duplicated.
// a deploy dir like "lib" will be used as "lib/lib" the only workig workaround
is to include a ..
// in the archive name.
archiveName = "../" + artifactPath.getName();

There is no info, what bug is meant. May be this?
https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-2150. But was fixed in 2010.
Instead of fixing a bug this peace of code just produces a _new bug_.
*Solution:* The "../" prefix should not be added to the archiveName.
