classifier dependency not working? [message #659103]

Hi,

I'm having problems getting a <classifier> dependency in pom.xml file to work. It works fine using maven standalone but not when using IAM/Q4E.

In one project I'm using the 'attachClasses' directive in the maven-war-plugin to create a jar file. In the repository this creates a war artifact and a jar artifact with a classifier of 'classes' (this is configurable).

In a second project (also of type war) I'm including this dependency:

<dependency>
<groupId>group</groupId>
<artifactId>project1</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<classifier>classes</classifier>
</dependency>

When I build this project using 'mvn install' it works fine. When I load the project in Eclipse it doesn't seem to bring in the dependency.

Is it possible to get this to work? If so, how can I troubleshoot. I would rather not refactor our structure to split it into 2 projects as there is no other reason to do this other than this issue.

Thanks.

Is this forum still active? Don't see much traffic. Sad

it might confuse Eclipse, because when a war depends on another war it
tries to do war overlay. It's better with Maven to have 2 projects, one
jar with the classes and a war depending on it
