Question

I have been trying to deploy a project that I created within eclipse but when I right click on the tomcat server and click “Add and Remove…”, I got the message “There are no resources that can be added or removed from the server”.

From what I understand it has something to do with the facets? I am not really sure to understand what is going wrong here.

Here is what I did for know:

• I created a Maven project.
• executed mvn eclipse:eclipse through the command line on the folder of the project
• installed m2e
• tried to add the project to the tomcat server

Answer 1

You probably want to use either mvn eclipse:eclipse OR m2e, but not both. m2e has gotten MUCH better in the last couple years, so that’s what I would suggest.

• Make sure you are using Eclipse for Java EE, otherwise you will need to install other plugins like WTP
• Install m2e.
• Install maven integration for wtp (from the eclipse marketplace)
• make sure the artifact type for your project is war
• Import Existing Maven Project in eclipse and browse to your pom to import the project.

It should give the correct facets to your project so it looks like a web project.
