Hello! I just migrated quite big web-based java project to use maven2 (2.0.4) and meet quite strange problem. I suppose it is not a problems of maven itself - seems it is problems of Eclipse - but anyway - maybe somebody ehre knows the solution.
So, I created maven pom.file, defined packaging for project as was and added plugin for generation of Eclipse + WTP project files. Everything almost ok, I can work with project in Eclipse as well as build project from maven - but I meet one strange problem. JSP Validator stops recognize all extra tags (JSF MyFaces, Tomahawk and so on) used in project. I suppose it is because in normal web-project all used libraries are placed under WEB-INF/lib and JSP Validator look jars in this folder to find tag-libs (taglibs for MyFaces placed in MyFaces jar file in META-INF folder). Maven in it's case do not place libraries into projects WEb-INF/lib (of course) but added requried libraries as other normal libraries into project... (libraries itself placed under M2_REPO variable). Of course, I can extract this tag-libs, placed them into WEB-INF and add them into web.xml - but it will be nice to make eclipse validator working with maven-based project from scratch. -- With Best Regards, Alexey Kakunin, EmDev Limited Professional Software Development: http://www.emdev.ru
