In that they aren't in the ear or Eclipse isn't creating the references for you?

I have the newest version of eclispe and m2 plugin.

import my ear project (ear pom) to eclipse.

the project that was created has the depended jar under maven library, but i dont see the depended jar (the utility jars) in the publish ear.

Hi there,

Can you post the relevant sections of your pom?

[avihai marchiano]

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jboss-packaging-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<version>5</version>
<earSourceDirectory>EarContent</earSourceDirectory>
<defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>
<!-- <applicationXml>EarContent/META-INF/application.xml</applicationXml>
<generateApplicationXml>true</generateApplicationXml> -->
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Did you saw a maven-ear that become to eclipse-application-project (by importing or mvn:eclipse) ?

Thank you

I assume you've tried the instructions here?

[avihai marchiano]

Not relevant.

Eclipse has facet , which define the project type.

m2 plugin soppuse to support in creating the right eclipse project.

what i am trying to do is to create eclipse project from maven ear.
the eclipse project need to be with ear facet and need to have generated application xml and all the jars under the ear library.

the eclipse project is created , but it dosnt packgae all the dependencies .

if you have ear pom that you success to create eclipse ear from it i will be happy to see.

Thank you

Sorry I think I got this around the wrong way. Are you trying to do this from Maven or from Eclipse using one of the Eclipse (Maven) plugins?

[avihai marchiano]

I want to create ear maven project - pom
and by import this project to exclipse (or by m2 plugin or by eclipse:eclipse) to have eclipse ear project.

Ah, re-reading your original post, I think I see. Your mvn ear command is not putting the dependencies as you'd expect. You need t make sure that you include the dependencies correctly in the pom, so something like:
