The first step would be to check JIRA https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE to see if it has already been reported. Remember, maven-eclipse-plugin is trying to configure your Eclipse environment for you but not all cases may be catered for. While running your web project from a server within eclipse is common enough it might be that not well supported. I don't know the answer to that, since I don't do web based development. To help enhance the plugin's support, someone needs to work out what the "Eclipse Way" is via manually fiddling with things. And then someone needs to update the plugin to automate this. Feel free to help out, that's the quickest way to ensure things get fixed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
