Deployment assembly of a Maven's Springboot project in Eclipse - eclipse

Trying to deploy a SpringBoot Maven project on my Tomcat in Eclipse.
First problem: the lib directory is empty after deployment, Maven is not doing the job although the dependencies are in the Build Path.
First solution: i added manually my Maven's dependencies to the deployment structure in Property > Deployment Assembly, and this worked fine.
Second problem: each and everytime i update my Maven's project, the Deployment Assembly goes back to the original state (no Maven's dependencies in WAR) and again i have to do the job manually.
Tried everything i could, everything i've found here, still not working.

My Eclipse Maven plugin installation just in case:

Found the answer here.
I did not have m2e-wtp plugin installed, this fixed my problem.

Problems building effective model for com.MyProject:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT

My project already runs correctly inside netbeans, but when I want to do "clean and compile" to create the .jar file, it doesn't create the "dist" folder but a "target" folder and doesn't even execute the file, in Console I get It shows some meven errors and the pom file that I still don't know how to fix. I hope someone can guide me in this final step of my project. I leave the capture and the code of the pom file.

Wrong Maven Exception

I am trying to make a new project in eclipse using Maven.
And I used simple "struts-archetype-blank" template of struts.
There is no spring dependencies in it. Still I am getting missing spring artifact error.
Is there any way to resolve the same? Or I am doing something wrong?

You are using struts2-junit-plugin which has transitive dependencies to Spring. Those dependencies are also available from the central Maven repository. For example spring-beans-4.1.6.RELEASE
Why the resolving of dependencies is not working cannot be seen in your question. It could be everything from misconfiguration (e.g. settings.xml, private repository, authentication) to network problems (e.g. private repository not reachable).
Your log4j2 version is also wrong. All log4j2 versions start with 2.the current version is 2.8.

unable to run cucumber test using maven build run configuration

I am trying to run cucumber tests in eclipse using maven build as run configuration.
When i run the configuration, build is getting success but browser does not invoke. Hence the test is not running.
Tests are getting skipped, giving an info "Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date".
I am able to run the same test successfully by running the feature file as cucumber feature.
Please suggest me why tests are getting skipped. Also let me know the steps for running the cucumber test as maven build.
Below is the pom.xml that i am using.
Also i am using vm arguments as "-Dcucumber.Options=--format html:target/cucumber-html-report --tags #Runme"

In here suiteXmlFile points to your xml file you are trying to run and reportsDirectory points to your output folder. In command line or if using eclipse in goal provide clean test -DsuiteFile=
Hope tthis would help.

Maven in Eclipse: Incremental Builds

I've been looking around for a while and can't find a definite method to build Maven incrementally in Eclipse.
Currently Maven produces a .war file each time I make a change, which takes some time to compile during the the regular build process.
What's the easiest method to speed things up and just copy across the delta changes into a directory instead?

My way using system's maven (not eclipse's internal maven):
Right-Click to the project -> Preferences -> Builders
New ... -> Program
Set C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin\mvn.cmd (your directory may be different) to Location.
Set the folder where you have your pom.xml in to "Working Directory:"
Set war:war to Arguments:.
Switch to panel "Build Options" and check "During auto builds".
Now, if you ever change a file (and save) the mvn war:war is executed.

Create an "Application Client" with Maven in Java EE

I am trying to create a maven based Enterprise Application with an Application Client which runs in the Application Client Container from GlassFish. It should fit togheter as the Project template from Netbeans "Enterprise Application" + "Enterprise Application Client" but with maven and not ant.
Until now I have following projects
Assembly Maven Project
EAR-Module
EJB-Module
WEB-Module (works well with inside the ear)
Swing Client Module
The Assembly pom.xml looks like:
<project xml...
<modules>
<module>shop-ear</module>
<module>shop-web</module>
<module>shop-ejb</module>
<module>shop-client</module>
</modules>
</project>
The ear pom.xml contain
<project ...>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<artifactId>shop</artifactId>
<groupId>my.package.name</groupId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</parent>
<groupId>ch.hslu.edu.enapp</groupId>
<artifactId>shop-ear</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>ear</packaging>
<!-- ... -->
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>my.package.name</groupId>
<artifactId>shop-ejb</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>ejb</type>

<dependency>
<groupId>my.package.name</groupId>
<artifactId>shop-client</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>jar</type>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
And the Swing Client pom.xml contains
<project xmlns=....>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<parent>
<artifactId>shop</artifactId>
<groupId>my.package.name</groupId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

Currently I have no dependencies between the Swing Client and the EJB Module. I just want to get a simple Swing form up and running out of the ACC form GlassFish (v 3.1.1).
But this doesn't work. The Swing-Client is packed into the lib folder inside the ear-file and I can not start it.
Do you know a tutorial or example which fulfill this task?
Your ear pom needs to configure the ear plugin like (maybe you just left it out when you put it into your question?):
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<configuration>
<version>6</version>
<generateApplicationXml>true</generateApplicationXml>
<defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>
<modules>
<webModule>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>shop-web</artifactId>
<contextRoot>webstuff</contextRoot>
</webModule>
<ejbModule>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>shop-ejb</artifactId>
<classifier>single</classifier>
<bundleFileName>shop-ejb.jar</bundleFileName>
</ejbModule>
<jarModule>
<groupId>com.foo</groupId>
<artifactId>shop-client</artifactId>
<bundleDir>/</bundleDir>
<bundleFileName>shop-client.jar</bundleFileName>
<includeInApplicationXml>true</includeInApplicationXml> <!-- i don't remember if this was absolutely necessary -->
</jarModule>
</modules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
That will package your application client jar outside the lib folder, and will help you define the context roots for your war modules (there isn't another way that I could find). The bundleFileName was important to get the URL to launch the client to make more sense.
I don't know of a single tutorial that puts this all together, but some resources are:
http://blogs.steeplesoft.com/2011/02/java-ees-buried-treasure-the-application-client-container/
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/jws-glassfish/part3.html
http://blogs.oracle.com/quinn/entry/customizing_generated_java_web_start
Now, there is official maven support for app clients
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-acr-plugin/
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ear-plugin/examples/using-app-client.html
http://web.anahata-it.com/2011/09/09/java-jee-desktop-maven-enterprise-application-client/
NetBeans 7.1 will add support for maven app clients too.
