INFO: No Spring WebApplicationInitializer types detected on classpath

Question

I have a spring project that runs fine on my tomcat7 server when I deploy from eclipse: Run As >> Run on server. In the eclipse tab \"Servers\" I see:

Server         


        

Answer 1

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-compiler-plugin          
    
        1.8
        1.8
    
 

This is the important plugin that should be in pom.xml. I spent my two days debugging and researching. This was the solution. This is Apache plugin to tell maven to use the the given Compiler.
