All, I've constantly had problems getting my dependencies declared in ivy to be published to the tomcat server. Before you answer just add the JavaEE module dep, I have already done that...
When I check my .metadata where the WebApp is being published, I don't see a lib directory under WEB-INF. I am using eclipse 3.5, MaxOSX, IVY 2.1.0 IVYDE 2.0.0 final. Any thoughts? Any way to debug this? I tried a few options: ivy with all confs Wiped our my tomcat, forced a republish... No effect. To prove I didn't miss the JavaEE module dep: Here's my .classpath ?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <classpath> > <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/classes" > path="src/main/java"/> > <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/test/resources"/> > <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/test-classes" > path="src/test/java"/> > <classpathentry kind="src" path="src/main/antlr3"/> > <classpathentry excluding="**" kind="src" output="target/classes" > path="src/main/resources"/> > <classpathentry kind="con" > path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/J2SE-1.5"/> > <classpathentry kind="con" > path="org.apache.ivyde.eclipse.cpcontainer.IVYDE_CONTAINER/?ivyXmlPath=ivy.xml&confs=*"> > <attributes> > <attribute > name="org.eclipse.jst.component.dependency" value="/WEB-INF/lib"/> > </attributes> > </classpathentry> > <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/> > </classpath> > Tomcat is complaining about a spring web context class.. SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener However...

Issue remains the same... I never do see WEB-INF/lib get created under the appropriate directory under .metadata in my workspace. Any thoughts? I don't think I'm doing anything silly/obviously wrong... I have had this flaky behaviour before where publish wouldn't always publish... It did work eventually... [After cleans, Destroy servers, change workspace] Cheers, Eric G.
