Hi John, I changed my pom according to what you said, by removing the provided portion. However, I am still getting the below error :
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.2:war (default-war) on project Hi5S: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) I have provided web.xml in the WEB-INF : <web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"; version="3.1"> <display-name>Hi5S</display-name> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>tutorRegister.jsp</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <resource-ref> <description>MySQL Datasource</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/hi5s</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> </web-app> Hope you can let me know what the error is trying to tell me.

But then you come back to bug fixing that project 2-4 years later and the latest maven plugin works differently. dependencies are for external code that your java code depends upon On 26 January 2018 at 11:08, Karen Goh <karenwo...@yahoo.com.invalid> wrote: > Hi expert, > > I have been running into alot of issue lately and I suspect if it is because I have using Maven plug-in? > > Here's how I do the maven-war-plugin: > > <groupId>Hi5S</groupId> > <artifactId>Hi5S</artifactId> > <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> > <packaging>war</packaging> > <properties> > <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> > <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source> > <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target> > </properties> > > <dependencies> > <dependency> > <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> > <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> > <version>3.1.0</version> > <scope>provided</scope> > </dependency> > > I'd like to know if it is ok I don't use maven to do the compile but used Eclipse to do it instead ? > > If it is so, how should I change the maven-war-plugin to ? > > I feel that this is the cause that Eclipse is not able to do proper debugging as in showing the stackover of what's happening when I run debug on server. > > Correct me if I am wrong..but I am at my wits end and this is the strongest suspect. > > Hope someone can tell me how to make pom as simple as possible...I just want to add the relevant dependencies...that's all. > > Tks & regards, > Karen > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
