Web resources filtering with Maven war plugin does not work in Eclipse with m2e

Question

I\'m trying to filter a Spring configuration file using Maven filtering. My POM is configured like this:

        ...
        
          

        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem with filtering the web.xml. I solved the problem by reimporting the whole project in eclipse.

The reason was a corrupt /.settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component file. In this file the order of the files copied to the local web servers deploy directory is defined. For example:

If the web.xml or application.xml exists in several directories it will be taken from the first directory found. Therefore its important that

is the first entry.
