I found a gotcha with using the Eclipse Webtools Project to deploy my
webapp after using the Maven Eclipse plugin.  It's a bug with the
Webtools Project, but I thought I'd let Maven users know, as it's
possible to affect them.

As you may know, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=116783
was fixed in WTP 1.0.1, allowing the eclipse plugin to specify
dependencies in your Maven repository and have them deployed properly.

However, there is one case where this won't work.  The details are in
this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130141

I'll summarize here though.

If you have the option selected to work directly against the server
instead of from your workspace (i.e. your app is deployed to
tomcat/webapps), and you do not have a "lib" directory in
src/main/webapp/WEB-INF, then the jars will be deployed to the root of
your webapp directory, instead of to WEB-INF/lib.  The workaround is
create a lib directory in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF.

Please vote for the bug to help make Eclipse+Maven easier to use.

Thanks.
