Imported maven project but can't see jsp in WEB-INF in eclipse

Question

I checked out a maven project, the directory looks like this :

.settings
[bin]

[src] inside this folder there is [java],[resources] and [webapp] folders. inside [webapp] there is index.jsp and [WEB-INF]. inside [WEB-INF] there is web.xml and [jsp] folder.

[target]
.classpath
.project
pom.xml

I did : File --> Import --> Existing Maven projects

The project now appear in Project Explorer of Eclipse with this contents :

src/main/java
src/main/resources
src/test/java
JRE System Library[JavaSE-1.6]
Maven Dependencies
bin
src
target
pom.xm

My question, where are : WEB-INF and jsps ?

Thanks, your help is appreciated. John

Answer 1

Down below the source files that you described, you should see a "src" folder (with nothing after it). Drill into this folder and you should find your missing files.

Answer 2

You should look at m2eclipse plugin to work on maven projects in eclipse. Assuming you have installed this and m2eclipse extras (for WTP support), import the project in eclipse as a maven project. The jsps should be show up in Web Resources (src/main/webapp).

Note that this plugin does not need you to run mvn eclipse:eclipse either. If you have done this and want to undo it, you can run mvn eclipse:clean.

Answer 3

First off, you will need to make sure you have the Eclipse Maven Plugin installed. You can get it here. Once thats there, you will need to run mvn eclipse:eclipse on the project base folder on command line. That will create .project, .settings and .classpath files, making it a valid Eclipse project. Now start Eclipse, select File -> Import -> Existing Projects in Workspace and navigate to the project folder. You should be able to see the project with Maven folder layout now.

Answer 4

Did you run mvn eclipse:eclipse?
