Question

I get no errors, however the class files are no longer copied to target directory (“/WEB-INF/classes/…”) when doing my next normal (non clean) build.

Thanks muchly for any help, I am learning maven.

When I say normal build, I am using war:war from within eclipse.

Answer 1

When running mvn war:war, you don’t run the normal maven life cycle, which beyond others includes the classes compilation. So basically you have no compiled classes to be added to WEB-INF/classes since you didn’t compile them.

Just run mvn install and it should work.
