I am working on a simple multi module maven project under Eclipse using m2eclipse with maven 3 and jetty plugin version 7. One of my module is a jar and the other module is a war which has a dependency on the jar.
Even though the workspace dependency resolution is enabled, the call to mvn jetty:run fails if I don't run mvn install before.
Having read about workspace dependency, I am not sure why a call to mvn install is required. I would like to be able to run the jetty plugin without installing the artifacts to my local repository. Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.
There is an integration module between m2eclipse and the WTP (Web Tool Platform).
WTP allow starting Jetty/Tomcat/... from Eclipse, debugging inside Eclipse, redeploy on change,...
Here is it: m2eclipse Extras
