I've tried to update the archiver settings, but I still have the m2e-wtp folder mapped to my / folder. Then I noticed a warning "Current Maven Archiver output settings are ignored as web resource filtering is currently used", which is what you referred to, I believe.
So after further review and head scratching, I get the need to copy everything to the m2e-wtp folder to do the filtering. And the reason why it is added to the deployment assembly. All makes perfect sense.
So then the question is if there is any way to remove the /src/main/webapp from my deployment assembly descriptor since I already have everything copied into my m2e-wtp/web-resources folder?
My pom for the webapp is:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<nonFilteredFileExtensions>
<nonFilteredFileExtension>xml</nonFilteredFileExtension>
<nonFilteredFileExtension>properties</nonFilteredFileExtension>
</nonFilteredFileExtensions>
<webResources>
<!-- enable filtering on all web resources, except those that must
be put into special directories -->
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I could even eliminate the nonFilteredExtensions if it helps me come to a semblance of a resolution.
Thanks,
Eric
