Hello All,

I’m trying to maintain my project using the structure recommended by maven (http://maven.apache.org/reference/conventions.html). This requires configuration files to be kept in separate directory trees from the java src.

Can someone tell me how to handle this in MyEclipse so that the webapp deployment has the files in the correct place?

Thanks!

John,
Do you mean config files like Hibernate.cfg.xml, or config files like web.xml, struts-config.xml, etc? If it’s the previous, just make a dir with the config files in it a Source dir, if it’s the later, then that is a problem and you might need to fool around with sym links.

Thanks for your reply. Mostly I’m interested in relocating application-specific config files and properties (e.g. myapp.xml, log4j.properties, etc.), so it sounds like I just need to designate an existing folder to be a source folder.

Can I do that in ME? Current directory structure:

/tng
/src
/main
/java
/resources
/test
/java
/resources
/WebRoot

It looks like ME only sees src/main/java and src/test/java as source folders (almost certainly a choice I made in establishing the project).

Thanks!

John,
Sure just open up your project properties, go to Java Build Path, first tab “Source” and add another dir.
