Question

I’m trying to make a simple log in/ log out web application with maven and I’m creating the project with the command: ” mvn archetype:generate ” and choose 341 and it’ll be created with the structure below:

webapp

—–src/main/java

—–Referenced Libraries

—–Maven Dependencies

—–src

—–target

pom.xml

But when I add some dependencies and update the project something weird happening with the structure of the project according to the picture below:

webapp

—–src/main/java

—–Referenced Libraries

—–JRE System Library

—–src

—–target

pom.xml

and it’s not working any more.

As you can see the the first one has a Maven dependencies Library but the second one has been changed to JRE System Library.

I use mac os lion and eclipse indigo.

Anyone how knows why is like that?

eclipse:eclipse makes maven re-generate Eclipse .project file which contains the Maven nature. You may want to look at additionalProjectnatures parameter or not use eclipse:eclipse
