how to create web project for eclipse using maven eclipse plugin

[Amit Khurana]

Hi Guys
 
I am using maven eclipse plugin to create projects compatible for
eclipse. It works fine for simple java projects but not for web project.
 
Running mvn eclipse:eclipse for web project creates following enteries
in .project
 
<projectDescription>
  <name>search-app</name>

  <projects/>
  <buildSpec>
    <buildCommand>

whereas a web project created using eclipse have this in .project file
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<projectDescription>
 <name>test-web</name>

As per Maven Eclipse documenttation
page(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/eclipse-mojo.h
tml) we can pass verious parameters but I did not find how to pass those
while running mvn eclipse:eclipse command. I created project.properties
file in dir where .pom exists with following enteries.
 
maven.eclipse.projectnatures=com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core.webnature,
org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature,org.eclipse.wst.common.modulecore.Module
CoreNature
maven.eclipse.buildcommands=com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core.WebClasspat
hBuilder,org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder,com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.co
re.J2EEProjectValidator,com.genuitec.eclipse.j2eedt.core.DeploymentDescr
iptorValidator,com.ibm.etools.validation.validationbuilder,com.ibm.sse.m
odel.structuredbuilder

 
But it's not working. Any idea?
 
Thanks In advance
