After Googling for other related errors associated with the war plugin, I found the following m2eclipse JIRA which led me to a work around to solve the problem with the war plugin:
<http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE-884> Comments in the above JIRA by Eugene appeared to suggest that workspace resolution might be involved in the problem I was encountering. So armed with this clue, I checked my launch configuration in Eclipse (goals == 'clean install') and noted that the 'Resolve Workspace artifacts' checkbox was selected. So I then unselected 'Resolve Workspace artifacts' which solved the problem with the war plugin in m2eclipse. In the JIRA, Eugene had stated: "... the war plugin needs the actual jars to package war files, so workspace dependency resolution is not going to help, unless we'll actually create those jars somehow under the hood." The above statement led me to suspect that workspace resolution was involved with the problem encountered by the war plugin. I do wonder whether m2eclipse needs to be smarter about accommodating cases such as this, because the end users of the service archetype I am developing will probably just interpret this as a bug in m2eclipse. Thanks!
