I'm hoping someone here knows this answer as it pertains to working with Maven in at least two different IDE's (MyEclipse and Netbeans).
I'm attempting to Mavenize our projects for the obvious benefits of Maven over our current build mess and at the same time use a project structure that is more IDE-agnostic. I created a simple Maven Spring web app in NetBeans7, deployed it and ran it/debugged it without issue. It contained what I think is the most basic "conventional" maven folder structure. When I imported that same maven project into MyEclipse as an existing maven project, the Spring configuration doesn't load out of the box. I tried going in reverse and created an Eclipse web application and enabled Maven support and it worked in both environments. I haven't dug too deeply into it, but I'm disappointed with the apparent need for additional "configuration" for MyEclipse and would prefer trying to understand why it is happening since the POM that MyEclipse created had so much more 'configuration' in it. So the question...what is the best way to created a Maven web application project that most closely follows Maven "convention" but will work in MyEclipse with minimal configuration?
