I have a web app project that depends on a library project.
I set up a multi-project build for it. The web app build uses the eclipse-wtp plugin.
Everything about this build appears to work, however:
when the eclipse target is run on the web project, eclipse-wtp creates a dependent-module entry in .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component for the library (as expected), but this entry is missing the archiveName attribute which is required by eclipse.
Actual:
<dependent-module deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" handle="module:/resource/CoreLib/CoreLib">
Eclipse needs:
<dependent-module archiveName="CoreLib.jar" deploy-path="/WEB-INF/lib" handle="module:/resource/CoreLib/CoreLib">
This causes eclipse to give me an “unfound resource” warning in the project Deployment Assembly and “class not found” on any reference in the library at runtime.
I researched this down to the source code in org.gradle.api.tasks.ide.eclipse.EclipseWtp. Where dependent-modules get created, it doesn’t appear that archiveName is ever used.
Does anyone have a work around for this?
