I have this SpringRoo repository I have just cloned and imported on my Eclipse workspace. The Eclipse I'm using now is a newly download Eclipse Standard 4.3.2. I have installed the WTP (3.5.2) and SpringSource (all of them) plugins. Also I have installed a new Apache Tomcat 7 on my terminal.
The problem is that after importing the SpringRoo project (via Maven) on the workspace and resolved some issues with pom.xml, I can't get to run the application because I can't see Run As Server option on the Run As menu. How could I get the project/eclipse to have this feature again?
Spring Roo doesn't run in a server ... you should read the reference guide and understand what is Roo.
Any way, you can "Run As ..." the applications you create with Roo, not Roo itself.

There seems to be no option in STS 3.6.1 to create a Roo app. While Googling I noticed this question for the same problem in version 3.5.0, and the sloution was to install Roo to STS manually as it is no longer included. Sweet, so I did that.
I installed it from the STS dashboard and after installation was complete and STS was re-started the dashboard shows this (so the installation was successful):
And lo and behold... still no option to creat a Spring Roo app!
So... how can I find the option to create a Spring Roo app from within Spring tool Suite?
You must install "Spring IDE - Roo Extension" too:
Then "Create Roo Project" will be ready:
Try to use Help -> Install new software And select SpringSorce Update Site to install Spring-Roo related features.
Anyway, you could run the Spring Roo shell on the systems shell to create the project (STS is great tool, but it isn't required to work with Roo).
Good luck!
I have maven based project with following structure:
main_project
module_webproject
module_java_proj_1
module_java_proj_2
module_java_proj_3
... ...
Everything compiles and packages fine with command line maven goals execution. I need to setup this project into eclipse environment for developers with tomcat deployment. Anyone know setup instructions?
Also, i am looking into tomcat hot deploy for debugging capabilities.
I have tried mvn eclipse:eclipse, this does only creation of .project and .classpath files. But projects directories are not treated as java or web projects.
Answer from following forum some what helps...
[Running Maven project on Tomcat from Eclipse
There can be a few reasons why you don't see the project in the Add/Remove projects dialog for Tomcat. Verify the following:
You have m2e installed (http://eclipse.org/m2e/download/)
You have m2e-wtp installed (http://www.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/download/)
Your Maven project imported as a Dynamic Web Application. Look for a Deployment Descriptor entry when you expand the project, it should be somewhere in the first few entries. It is the second one down for me on Eclipse Juno. Not there? It's probably not a web app. Go back and verify 1 & 2, then remove and re-import your project.
Make sure that your web application is not too new for the version of Tomcat that you are using. Right-click the project and go to Properties > Project Facets. Look for Dynamic Web Module and check the version. If this version is too new for your Tomcat version, Eclipse won't let you add it. For instance, your Dynamic Web Module version is 3.0 and you're using Tomcat 6.
I'm running a web application with maven + spring mvc + spring data jpa with apache tomcat in eclipse.
I want to deploy my application without opening eclipse and run tomcat inside it, so i have to export my project into war and copy it into apache-tomcat-7.0.42\webapps directory and it's working good.
My problem is that i want to work directly into apache-tomcat-7.0.42\webapps with eclipse so like that i don't have to export my war file after every changes in my code.
Just configure the Tomcat as server in eclipse and run the project from eclipse.
To configure tomcat in eclipse:
In Eclipse, go to Windows->preferences->Servers->runtime Environment, add tomcat here.
To run the project from eclipse:
right click project in Eclipse's project explorer and select->run as->run on server. select the tomcat you configured.
Looking for a clean way to export a NetBeans Java Web Project (Java EE) to Eclipse.
Already tried importing the war file, but it outputs many errors. I think because EJB object is not contained there.
Netbeans project has a connection with PostgreSQL, and Glassfish server, everything installed on my Windows PC. It's using the EJB module, and it features a REST implementation, with JPA persistance.
Using Netbeans 7.2 and Eclipse IDE 1.5 (latest)
Here is a view of the Netbeans project:
Below is the project resulted from the import of the war file (generated by Netbeans) in Eclipse.
Which would be a clean way to do this?
I can also hear ideas about importing it to IntelliJ Idea.
Solution took long, but here are the basic steps:
Create empty EAR Project In Eclipse, add 2 modules, EJB and Web Module. Then added JPA facets to the EJB project. Imported src folders. Then exported the EAR Project to to JBoss (changed Glassfish, no particular reason).
Basically 1 project in Netbeans is equivalent to 3 projects in Eclipse in this case.
Prepare to get your hands dirty.
Netbeans uses Ant build scripts by default. These scripts cannot be directly converted to work with Eclipse.
The way I did it was to create a Maven project in Netbeans and copy all source files from the Ant project to the Maven project. Eclipse provides a Maven plugin which enables you to work with Maven projects. Maven projects (if set up correctly) tend to be IDE independent.
You could try to create new project in Eclipse, and choose "Create project from existing source". Then point src folder from NetBeans project. You probably will need to organize your REST services etc by yourself, but I think that is the way.
I have a maven build Java project.
My war file name is: test-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war
I am using M2E plugin in Eclipse.
I have run target mvn package.
Added server as tomcat version 7 in eclipse indigo 3.7. Server started. But my war file didn't deployed in the server.
I have tried by right clicking tomcat server and Add remove..., it says "there is no resources that can be added or removed from the server".
How can i deploy my war file in the eclipse WTP tomcat server?. Do i need to run any maven target?
Make sure that you have "Maven Integration for WTP" installed in your Eclipse instance.
First check if it's available through
Window->Preferences->Maven->Discovery->Open Catalog
If for whatever reason this does not work, you can get WTP integration from this update site (that's the version I am currently using):
https://repository.sonatype.org/content/repositories/forge-sites/m2eclipse-wtp/0.13.0/S/0.13.0.20110623-0455
This integration does a lifecycle mapping of maven-war-plugin into m2e architecture.
Once you've installed the WTP integration, you must restart eclipse and once it's restarted, right click on your web app project and choose: Maven->Update Project Configuration...
Also, I would advise to run a clean build at this time.
Last, but not least, delete and recreate your Tomcat server configuration (I don't know why, but I had to do it quite a few times when I switched to m2e).
I think eclipse is not recognizing your project as a web app, To confirm this
Open to do open J2ee perspective on your eclipse, If you open the project folder of your app, You should see (Deployment Descriptor)
If you don't see it, your app is not web app as far as eclipse is concerned
I have see this in case if you imported/created a maven command line project
To fix this
Select Project ==> Properties ==> Project Facets ==> make sure Dynamic Web Module check box is checked
If you do that the local tomcat server will add your app when do add remove projects
I think eclipse is not recognizing your project as web app,convert your project into web app by command mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0 and try to deploy in Eclipse configured tomcat,it will work.
If you have Eclipse 3.5 or above you should ensure that you have both the m2eclipse (m2e for 3.7) plugin installed and its WTP add-on. With these you shouldn't need to change your configuration by hand.
Did you try to build your project from the command line and deploy it in Tomcat by hand?
By the way, have you read this wiki post? It's a bit old, but it may still be relevant.
Adding 2 cents to Prasanna wonderful solution.
I realized that building maven war files "mvn package" was just creating .war file but eclipse was not picking up that war but was deploying its some internal version of it's app war.
I found that server > Browse Deployment Location.. in Eclipse server view .. it was taking to some abstract location like "C:\Programs\workspaceSTS.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp1\wtpwebapps"
Where I could see my exploded app deployed but it was not having any /classes folder just limited files.
Using Prasanna's method I realized that eclipse now was deploying full exploded .war now.
So this was happening coz changing the facets to Dynamic Web Module has actually populated "R-click project > Properties > Deployment Assembly "
This Web Deployment Assembly window only tells eclipse what to deploy and what not. So even if your project is NOT setup as Dynamic Web Module , and still if you configure "Web Deployment Assembly" values properly , eclipse will deploy the app fine to Tomcat/ Server.
