Cannot 'Add and Remove' Maven Project with

Question

Thank you in advance for your help!

I can access the Admin console in Websphere 7 and install the EAR file successfully for a maven project.

I cannot right click on the Websphere 7 server, In Rad 8.5, and select 'Add and Remove'. When I do that, it doesn't show the maven project. Instead, it shows ' There are no resources that can be added or removed from the server'

Any Ideas for how to get it to show up under 'add and remove'?

There is also the PDF version as

I hope this may help.

Bit late but perhaps still helpfull for those running into this problem. What worked for me?

After a succesfull build on the command line I ran 'mvn eclipse:eclipse' to generate the prefs files for the project to import it smoothly into eclipse/Rad as a 'general project'. After this the wtp-migration tool popped up. I let it run and after correcting some project facet issues in the project properties I could easily see and add the ear module to my WAS7 server.
