Hi,

I'm having issues with a maven based project where I cannot set the webroot folder.

The project is a standard war based project that is deployed to tomcat.

I can get to the "web" tab under Myeclipse and set a "web-root folder" . However , the deployments to tomcat fails
and if I go back to this same screen, the web-root folder is empty.

I'm seeing a EARProject cast error in .log. I've posted the full trace and install summary at the end of this email.


Also, if I view the "myeclipse" option from project properties - I see Web as an installed capability but I cant remove web capabilities from the project. So i cant
re-add web capabilities either.

Also, I have have no .mymetadata file in the project home folder - I do have a .settings dir and there is file called org.eclipse.wst.common.component that has
dirs specified but not a web-root dir.

Can I somehow fix my project so I can deploy ?

thanks,
tom
