So, I've been messing with maven and myeclipse on a web project, and I'm starting to get things working.

However, currently in my web project, I have the error "This project needs to migrate WTP metadata". I figure maven put WTP metadata there.

However, I choose the "migrate WTP metadata" quick fix, and nothing happens.

How can I get rid of the error message?

TIA
Stephen

Stephen,
I'm not sure. I haven't seen that error before and am not sure which plugin contributed it (I know MyEclipse didn't, but I mean other than WTP or Maven).

If you switch to the Navigator view, you should be able to see all the dot files in the project that define the project's metadata. The MyEclipse ones usually have "my" in the name. That might help you figure out which ones it's referring to.

Go to problems tab.
select the error line that shows "This project needs to migrate WTP metadata"
Right mouse click and select "Quick Fix"
Select OK to "Migrate WTP metadata"

I should point out the MyEclipse projects do not use WTP meta-data so you're likely mixing maven and a WTP project, not a MyEclipse one.

I recently upgraded to 5.5.. I have an existing web project that does not use maven, but when I do a clean and rebuild I get the error "This project needs to migrate WTP metadata". The error shows up about the same time the Facelets Validator phase is indicated.

I choose the "migrate WTP metadata" quick fix, and nothing happens.

How can I get rid of the error message or disable the Facelets Validation?

KA,
MyEclipse and WTP are separate products. I'm not familiar with WTP, or how migrating WTP metadata works, I'm sorry I cannot help with this.

what worked for me was making sure there were no duplicate entries in .sessions/org.eclipse.wst.common.component

try adding this line in the .project file
<nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature</nature>
