Frank,
If you are still hitting this problem, I think I can help... I was getting
the exact problem you described in Eclipse (MyEclipse) and this is what I
did to resolve:
The main problem is, "mvn eclipse:eclipse" sets "bin" as the output
directory. However, "target" is really the output directory that the mvn
archetype set up, and this is causing all the confusion. (In fact, mvn
eclipse:eclipse actually sets target up as a source directory.)
Because target is not designated as an output directory, it is actually
trying to compile the target directory and giving you all these errors as it
tries to compile it! I mean, Tomcat container is in there, and Eclipse is
trying to compile that and put the output in the bin directory! Hence 500+
illegal characters (hitting binary).
Because mvn eclipse:eclipse is setting things up this way by default, I'm
surprised this issue isn't effecting more people.
Anyway, to resolve, I did this:
Make sure target is a source directory which will be compiled.
1. Select target directory and right mouse click
2. Select Build Path -> Don't use as source folder
Now, designate target as default output folder:
1. Select toplevel project in package explorer and right mouse click.
2. Pick Build Path -> Configure Build Path
3. Under "default output folder", replace <project>/bin with
<project>/target
That eliminated all errors (except 1) for me.
The only remaining error I see is in login.xml, where the error complains of
improper XML. And in fact, the XML has no root node:
<invoke description="get Login Page" url="/"/>
<verifytitle description="we should see the login title" text=".*${
login.title}.*" regex="true"/>
<setinputfield description="set user name" name="j_username" value="admin"/>
<setinputfield description="set password" name="j_password" value="admin"/>
<clickbutton label="${button.login}" description="Click the submit button"/>
<verifytitle description="Home Page follows if login ok" text=".*${
mainMenu.title}.*" regex="true"/>
Because there is no root node in this file, this error seems to be legit.
Still puzzling over this one at the moment. Anyone else know?
