How to change context root of a dynamic web project in Eclipse?

Question

I developed a dynamic web project in Eclipse. I can access the app through my browser using the following URL:

http://localhost:8080/MyDynamicWebApp
         


        

Answer 1

If using eclipse to deploy your application . We can use this maven plugin

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-eclipse-plugin
    2.10
    
        2.0
        newContextroot
    

now go to your project root folder and open cmd prompt at that location type this command :

mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0

You may need to restart eclipse , or in server view delete server and create agian to see affect. I wonder this exercise make sense in real life but works.
