I have a very large workspace with about 30 projects all together. I am using Eclipse 3.5 with m2eclipse. I check out of my subversion repository using the defaults in order to import the projects into my workspace.
I create a Tomcat server instance, and publish my web project to the tomcat server. Sounds easy enough.
The problem is that it does not appear as though the transitive dependencies for my other projects are being automatically added to the container, so when the container starts up I get classnotfound exceptions, etc.
I go into the web project's properties, and I notice that the Java EE Module Dependencies are NOT checked for some of the transitive dependencies. I check them, and everything seemingly works until I do a project clean build, when the Java EE Module Dependencies are automatically reset by eclipse, so I need to recheck them. This is maddening, and I was hoping there was some way to automatically pull in all of the transitive dependencies when working with Eclipse WTP.
I should mention, using standard maven build works just fine, and everything gets pulled in appropriately into the resulting WAR file. It just doesn't work so good with WTP for some reason.
