Unable to “Run on Server” a webapp from Eclipse

Question

When running my WebApp project from Eclipse most of times it run correctly. But if by mistake to stop server, I kill it in \"Console\" view on instead of \"Stop\" Server from \"

Answer 1

Dont do those crazy cosmic workarounds !!

This works fine:

Add to your ".project" file (hidden) these lines:

 
    org.eclipse.jem.workbench.JavaEMFNature
    org.eclipse.wst.common.modulecore.ModuleCoreNature
    org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature
    org.eclipse.m2e.core.maven2Nature
    org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature
    org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.jsNature
  

Enjoy !

Why? if you check that unexisting directory, well, that "../.metadata/blah/blah/tmp0/wtpwebapps/YOURPROJECT/" is EMPTY: then your build aint creating the WAR... !!! Because maven plugin isnt understanding HE HAVE TO !

I found this after comparing two .project files from both different deploying/non-deploying projects...

Hope helped !
