Mevenide, Netbeans and Problem with Custom warSourceDirectory Setting

[Josh-4]

Hello -

     I've configured the maven-war-plugin to override the warSourceDirectory to use a folder named "WebContent" rather than the default src/main/webapp.  This is because we have code checked into SVN that is oriented toward an eclipse wtp-based project structure.  However - currently, we're evaluating netbeans and the mevenide plugin and we're having problems getting the plugin to recoginize this overridden setting.  The command line build works fine.  However, meven-ide does not show the files in the "Web Files" section of the projects view.  As a result, I can't create new source code files. Any ideas?

Here's a quick summary of our config and problem (in a less wordy format):

1. Netbean 6.1
2. Meven IDE (latest version as of last week).
3. Superpom that configured such that "warSourceDirectory" is a non-standard folder.
4. Maven project (with artifactType of 'war') that references the superpom.

Problem:

MevenIde will not recognize the warSourceDirectory thus disallowing us to create new web files (it assume 'src/main/webapp', which won't work for us).

Thanks!

Josh

I've checked the trunk code and it should be working. I've tried on a
sample archetype, added this configuration snippet:
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.2</version>
            <configuration>
                <warSourceDirectory>src/main/webapp2</warSourceDirectory>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>

and it seems to behave correctly.

There might be multiple reasons why it doesn't work for you.
1. the j2ee maven bridge didn't install (happens when you don't have
j2ee support installed when installing maven)
2. it was fixed post 3.1.x version that is released for 6.1 netbeans
3. there's a bug somewhere which prohibits it working with your
particular setup.

I performed the same steps you did (using the web archetype) and still had no luck. How do I check that the bridge is installed?  If I can rule that out, then perhaps it was something that was fixed post 3.1.4 of mevenide.

menu Item View/IDE log or something like that will have the print out
of all installed modules. Search for maven.j2ee (or mevenide.j2ee in
case of 6.1 I think)
