I have configured my POM to include the Maven-Surefire plugin, as well as a dependency to a repository with some Selenium stuff.
After running mvn eclipse:eclipse, my project now has 100 jars, including the Jetty, Spring, and Selenium jars, all at the root of the project.
The project builds and runs fine, but how can I put the jars into a directory so it doesn't look so bad? Is this something I can configure in the POM?
Instead of using the maven eclipse plugin ("mvn eclipse:eclipse"), you could use maven eclipse integration plugin (m2eclipse), all your jars will stay in the local repository.

I'm starting to use Maven (M2E) on Eclipse.
I have two projects
->Tools
->Main
The Main project requires the Tools project. I add "Tools" under the "Main"->"Deployment assembly" option, and when exporting to WAR, the WAR will automatically contain also Tools.jar. This is correct.
Now I installed M2E on the Main Project, to manage some spring dependencies. When I edit the pom.xml, Maven starts, and correctly downloads the Spring jars, but it removes the Tools project from the "Deployment assembly" option (it disappear from the org.eclipse.wst.common.component eclipse configuration file)
As a result, when I export the WAR from Eclipse->Export, the war will not contain Tools.jar, so the webapp will not work.
How do I configure pom.xml to do what Eclipse does with the "deployment assembly"?
That is, package all classes and resources and jar dependencies of the Tools project?
I think that I'm missing some understanding of Maven, but I've not been able to google about it?
thank you
I have a simple basic question. If I develop plugin for Kura in eclipse with maven, can I use dependency feature of Maven? I mean, when I use Maven for my Spring projects, I simple add dependency to pom.xml file and I can use in my project. Since I run Spring project on my local machine, dependent .jar files can be used runtime. This time, I will deploy my plugin to another device (Raspberry) , I have to put everything in the bundle .jar package. Can Maven do this or should I add dependent .jar files to classpath manualy?
You can use maven shade plugin to build the so called uber-jar - one jar that will contain your project along with all the dependencies.
These are the steps I followed:
Created a maven project in eclipse.
Converted the project into faceted form.
Added the project to the server.
Now whenever I make any changes to my project resources, it gets reflected in server. But my WEB-INF/lib directory doesn't contain any maven dependency jar files.
How to fix this?
If you use Eclipse WTP, Maven dependencies are provided by WTP to the application server using some kind of special classpath container (as you see it in your project in Eclipse). So they are not copied to WEB-INF/lib directory but rather somehow "injected" by the WTP extension. But if you build Maven artifact (mvn package) everything should be OK.
I installed m2e integration for WTP and now it is copying the maven dependecies jars into WEB-INF/lib of the server installed apps directory.
We have a multi-module maven project that was recently converted from Ant+Ivy. One of the modules is a legacy custom pluggable component which looks for plugins on the classpath and loads them. Another module in the multi-module project is a plugin implementation that is run by the aforementioned plugin.
When running our custom application server from an eclipse run configuration, we must include each of our plugins on the classpath. As we build within the eclipse workspace these plugins are not compiled to a jar. Hence, there is no jar artifact to include.
If I add the plugin module project as a dependency in the eclipse run configuration, its transitive dependencies (supplied by Maven) are not inherited. Hence, class not found exceptions occur when the plugin is found and loaded by the Application Server.
The problem here is that upon importing the multi-module project, the m2e plugin does not set the maven container to be exported. Thus the missing transitive dependencies.
Is there any way to make this work whilst still running in eclipse using "build in workspace" for both the Application Server component and its plugins.
Ivy is just a dependency management tool where as Apache Maven is a software project management.
Means It can handle all process in software development like compiling,building it to jars, search for depencies,linking, etc.
you no need to give your jars in classpath instead put it in your local repository or edit the pom.xml to fetch from remote repository.

We have a non-trivial multi-module maven project, then have a single module maven web-app that depends on 2 modules in the larger multi module project.
When we use eclipse to deploy to tomcat, it doesn't deploy all the jars that are required (spring, camel, etc) by the projects in the multi-module projects, but the multi-module jars are present???
But if we were to do an export of a war file on the single module app it includes everything we need spring, camel, and all the multi-module jars as expected? Why do export and deploy work differently and how can I get deploy to work the way I want.
We are using eclipse 3.6.2 with m2eclipse and other plugins. It seems Eclipse Indigo is worst at handling maven projects than 3.6.
This seems to be the same problem that I encounter semi-regularly. Open the build path for the project, and in the Exports tab, check the Maven dependencies checkbox. Do a clean and reploy the webapp.
It may be necessary to remove & readd the webapp to the server, and I usually have to quit Eclipse and restart it.
