IWAE0006E Archive is not a valid WAR File because the deployment descriptor can not be found (case sensitive): WEB-INF/web.xml

I do have a web.xml file in my WAR. The structure of the WAR is also fine. But when I add it to my EAR and deploy I get the following error message in the console

[4/18/16 16:08:28:372 IST] 00000027 wtp W org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.commonarchivecore.internal.impl.EARFileImpl openNestedArchive - module An error occurred while opening a nested archive: IWAE0006E Archive is not a valid WAR File because the deployment descriptor can not be found (case sensitive): WEB-INF/web.xml

I tried closing my Eclipse, cleaning and building all the projects, but no luck.

What else could be the issue here? Can you some one help me out?

Small tip: if you have such option, move away from EAR archive to a single WAR. Much less potential problems.

When it comes to the original question: it looks you have your war.xml file in a wrong location.
If you are not using any build tool, just Eclipse IDE - and you don't know how to assembly a proper WAR archive - you may for example create a new Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse and look at its structure.

It may also be an issue with Eclipse, so you can delete all Eclipse-specific files (like .settings, .project) and then import your projects from scratch.
