When adding the JSF facet to a maven project having filtered web resources, faces-config.xml is created in target/m2e/web-resources/WEB-INF ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-8990 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8990 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: maven Affects Versions: 3.2.0.Final Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: Fred Bricon Fix For: 3.3.0.M2 If a maven project uses web resource filtering and is referencing JSF libraries, then, during the JSF Facet installation, org.eclipse.jst.jsf.core.internal.project.facet.JSFFacetInstallDelegate will create the faces-config.xml file in the first resource folder found in .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component, for instance : {noformat} <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project-modules id="moduleCoreId" project-version="1.5.0"> <wb-module deploy-name="simple-jsf"> <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/target/m2e-wtp/web-resources"/> <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webapp"/> <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/java"/> <wb-resource deploy-path="/WEB-INF/classes" source-path="/src/main/resources"/> <property name="context-root" value="simple-jsf"/> <property name="java-output-path" value="/simple-jsf/target/classes"/> </wb-module> </project-modules> {noformat} -> target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml target/ is a derived folder (at least in m2e-core 0.13), and faces-config.xml belongs to the source folders. The code responsible for this is {noformat} private IPath resolveConfigPath(final IProject project, final String jsfConfigPath) { return ComponentCore.createComponent(project).getRootFolder() .getUnderlyingFolder().getRawLocation().append( new Path(jsfConfigPath)); } {noformat} Obviously, we'd need to fix it upstream. Until that happens, if it happens one day, we can take the WDD (Workaround Driven Development) route : * either we try putting the correct source folder first, if needed, before adding the facet, then reverting the change once the JSF facet is added. * check if the faces-config.xml file has been created under target/m2e-wtp/web-resources/WEB-INF/ and move it back to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/ First solution seems really gross. I'm inclined to implement the 2nd one. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
