Hi,
I am using MyEclipseIDE 4.1.1 on Eclipse 3.1.2, Windows 2000.
When creating an EAR, I have an EJB and a web module. I put the source of the EJB in src/main/java. This adds the META-INF in the correct directory. I then attach my source from CVS (our source does not fit perfectly). I can then have the MANIFEST files generated correctly. Then, when I replace the exsting META-INF with a checkout from CVS, the generate new manifest fails. It trys to put the new manifest into src/META-INF. This directory does not exist and is not within the java source directory.
What is it looking at to figure out where to put the MANIFEST file? I have looked around the normal configuration files, but have not been able to find a reference. Is this a know bug with MyEclispseIDE?

Michael,
Are you generating this file using XDoclet to generate that file? Check your MyEclipse-XDoclet project preferences to make sure the destDir setup in the doclet is right. You might have pulled down a changed project setting or XDoclet build file from CVS when you check otu the source, and that is what is causing it to balk.I am not using XDoclet for this project. I am just using the generate New Module Manifest from the menu of the EAR project.
I was able to get it to work, by deleting the project (but not the directories) and then creating a new project using the same structure (over the existing directories). Does this mean that there are parameters somewhere that tell the EAR project where to store the EJB manifest?
Most likely in the .mymetadata file in the project root, it’s possible there was one in CVS that overwrote yours.
I don’t think anything was over-written from CVS. This project has never been used in a MyEclipseIDE project.
I don’t see anything in the .mymetadata file to indicate the source.
This problem is very reproducible.
1. Create an EAR project that contains a WebModule and an EJB module.
2. Generate the manifest. Works ok
3. Delete the META-INF directory from the EJB project
4. Recreate the META-INF directory
5. Generate manifest files. Does not work.I just did your steps and the MANIFEST.MF file was recreated in the EJB project. Can you create a new test Enterprise project and web/ejb module that exhibit this behavior, then email it to support@genuitec.com ATTN Riyad with a link to this thread so I know why I’m getting it. Also include step-by-step instructions that I should take as well as what I should see (what’s wrong) as I run it.
