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.

I have a 4-project, Maven-based EAR application (JavaEE-7.0) with a parent, WAR, resources, and EAR project. I am using Eclipse Oxygen with the latest release of WAS Liberty 17.0.0.2 and the latest release of the WAS Liberty plugin for Eclipse Oxygen.
I have no error markers anywhere in any of my files and Maven can produce an EAR.
When I try to publish to Liberty, nothing happens. I've done all number of possible cleans: workspace cleans, Liberty server clean, Maven clean, etc. but even though the server says [Synchronized], nothing ever shows up in the apps directory of my server.
The server is locally hosted on Windows 10 and I'm using JRE 8u141.
When WLP starts up, it says CWWKZ0014W: The application foo could not be started as it could not be found at location blah.ear.
I've tried nuking my WLP installation and reinstalling from scratch; still no dice.
(Cue rant about tools keeping me from getting work done...)
How can I resolve this?
Are you using the Add/Remove dialog from the Servers view to publish the EAR to the server? This works for me using my sample maven EAR project.
A few things to check:
EAR project's Deployment Assembly page references the other projects
The WebSphere Application Server Liberty Targeted Runtime is checked on the Targeted Runtimes properties page for each of the projects
Project > Build Automatically is turned on (or you've done a Build All) in your workspace
Your server's server.xml should contain an 'enterpriseApplication' element after the publish
If the publish still doesn't work, can you provide more details about your EAR's pom as well as how you created the project. (using an archetype? based off of a sample? converted an existing EAR project to a maven project?)
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 want to run web based Maven project on glassfish server. I am totally new on maven. However, i have successfully build the maven project and glassfish server is up and running also. Moreover, there is WAR file also in target folder but i am confused what is the next step to run that project on glassfish ?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
You have different options to solve this task:
If you are new to Eclipse I suggest to change to NetBeans. It comes with integrated support for application server deployments. You just add your maven (or nearly any other type of project like WAR, EJB and EAR) project and your desired application server instance (Glassfish) and you are ready: Right-click your project and choose Deploy and it'll get deployed to your server. NetBeans also supports hot-deployment.
You can deploy your WAR file manually in GLASSFISH_ROOT/glassfish/domains/domain1/autodeploy and it'll get deployed if your server is running. But this is not very efficient during development.
If you want to stay with Eclipse you can use the maven-glassfish-plugin or this maven plugin to do the deployment for you. I'm not sure which one is better but this topic is also discussed in this question and this question.
I have a Dynamic Web Project, that is deployed to a Tomcat server by Run As > on Server. The Project has WebServices WSDL, which work fine this way.
But I want to convert to maven/pom. So I use eclipse and choose "convert project to maven".
Afterwards, when I again choose > Run on Server, the tomcat deploy dir is empty!
What is changing exactly when converting to maven project, and how can I fix the deployment process again?
My advice would be to use the Maven Tomcat plugin:
http://tomcat.apache.org/maven-plugin.html
This way, you can create a Maven Run Configuration in Eclipse that compiles and deploys your app to Tomcat with one button click. There is also a Jetty server plugin.
I set up a small web project with JSF and Maven. Now I want to deploy on a Tomcat server. Is there a possibility to automate that like a button in Eclipse that automatically deploys the project to Tomcat?
I read about a the Maven War Plugin but I couldn't find a tutorial how to integrate that into my process (eclipse/m2eclipse).
Can you link me to help or try to explain it. Thanks.
I set up a small web project with JSF and maven. Now I want to deploy on a Tomcat Server.
During development I recommend to use Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP). M2Eclipse provides support for it (assuming you have Maven Integration for WTP installed) and your project should be recognized as a Dynamic Web Project runnable on a Server.
So, declare Tomcat as a Server (show the Servers view and right-click in it to add a Server via New > Server). And deploy your project to it (right-click on your project then Run > Run on Server).
There are other options like using the Tomcat Maven Plugin or the generic Cargo Maven Plugin but I wouldn't use them for development and, since you are a Maven beginner, I don't recommend them at all. Use your IDE.
I read about a the Maven War Plugin but I couldn't find a tutorial how to integrate that into my process.
Actually, the Maven War Plugin is only responsible of the packaging of your webapp project (it is bound automatically on the package phase when using a <packaging>war<packaging> for your project). It isn't used for deployment. But as I said, use your IDE to deploy your application during development.
The war plugin is for generating war files, not for deploying them. What you are asking for may be provided by the Cargo Plugin. Another interesting candidate for you could be the jetty-maven-plugin.
