How to change default Eclipse WTP "Web Resources" dynamic folder
I prefer the following solution, as the configuration is then saved in the .project
file and also all files are kept visible in the Eclipse Project Explorer.
Create a Linked Folder called WebContent
pointing to /src/main/webapp
:
Right click project > New > Folder. Folder name: WebContent
. Advanced > Link to alternate location (Linked Folder): PROJECT_LOC/src/main/webapp
.
Give Preference to eclipse GUI!
if don't appear to you see this
Unable to find Deployment assembly Eclipse Juno
- Disable "Dynamic Web Module" project nature, click "Apply" button
- Enable previous option checkbox, notice "Feather configuration available..." at the bottom.
- Click "Feather configuration available..." link and change directory
- Click "Apply" button
I found the solution:
Under .settings folder in your project's folder, there is a file named "org.eclipse.wst.common.component", inside it change the line <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/WebContent"/>
with <wb-resource deploy-path="/" source-path="/src/main/webapp"/>
.
That's all!
