Eclipse does not include dependencies for maven-wtp [message #1711917]

Hello all,

I have been trying for quite some time now to get eclipse to work with a maven-based wtp2.0 project. The problem is *always* that some required dependencies are not deployed to the tomcat server.

Just to clarify: If I use "mvn package" to create a war, then everything works and all dependencies are included. The problem seems to be with eclipse in this case.

Essentially I have a "server" maven-wtp which has a "core" dependency which is a maven project I am also developing using eclipse. In addition the project depends on another external jar which I obtain from mvnrepository.com. This is noted as a
dependency in the project's pom.xml.

I took a look at ".settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component" which supposedly stores dependencies in eclipse, it shows my core module:

        <dependent-module archiveName="core-1.0.0.jar" deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" handle="module:/resource/core/core">
            <dependency-type>uses</dependency-type>
        </dependent-module>

However, the external dependency is not showing, it is not deployed and my server throws an exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Just to clarify: the maven dependencies *do* show up in the "Deployment Assembly" section and are supposed to be deployed to "WEB-INF/lib"

I am using Mars.1 Release (4.5.1), the problem occurs with and without using m2e-wtp (1.2.1.20150819-2220).

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Mark,
Hopefully you have already resolved this, but thought I'd respond as I was encountering the same issue when I came across your post.

I had same issue where if I build the WAR, it would link in the dependent JAR modules successfully. However, dependent JAR modules would not show up when running Tomcat in Eclipse under:

$WORKSPACE_HOME\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\${project.name}\WEB-INF\lib

It took a while for me to figure out my issue, but I used the sample project in the Maven Multi Module Project example as a baseline:

https //maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/examples/multi-module-projects.html

What was missing in my case was the maven-eclipse-plugin definition at the Parent POM level (previous I had this at the WAR module level):

				<plugin>
					<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
					<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
					<configuration>
						<projectNameTemplate>
							[artifactId]-[version]
						</projectNameTemplate>
						<wtpmanifest>true</wtpmanifest>
						<wtpapplicationxml>true</wtpapplicationxml>
						<wtpversion>2.0</wtpversion>
						<manifest>
							${basedir}/src/main/resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
						</manifest>
					</configuration>
				</plugin>

This ensured that I had org.eclipse.wst.common.component file for all modules which seemed to resolve the issue.

Hope that helps.
