[m2e-users] How did I break my m2e ear plugin? M2e no longer publishes t

[Eric B <ebenzacar@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have no idea what I did to break my m2e/m2e-wtp installation, but my maven project is now generating  my application.xml file in my src/main/application/META-INF folder.  It used to properly generate it in my target/m2e-wtp/ear-resources/META-INF folder (where it belongs).

I've spent half the afternoon uninstalling/reinstalling plugins, but haven't really managed to progress.

I've got m2e 1.5.2, with m2e-wtp 1.0.1 (yes - both old version - I know) installed.

I _believe_ the issue started after installing the WebSphere 8.5 for Juno plugin via the Eclipse Marketplace, but I have since removed that, and removed my m2e/m2e-wtp and reinstalled them.  Including a "-clean" when starting Eclipse.

My pom itself hasn't changed.  The effective-pom shows:

I've tried removing the maven nature, deleting the .project, target and .settings folders, deleting the project and reimporting it as a maven project.  And yet, this issue of generating the application.xml in my src folder continues.

Anyone have any clues?

Thanks,

Eric
