Maven-eclipse-plugin 2.6 might break wicket projects

Took me a while to find this, so I thought I’ll post it: Maven’s eclipse plugin version 2.6 does not work well with Wicket projects.

The problem with version 2.6 is that the Maven’s folder structure does not conform to Wicket’s folder structure. This seems to be fixed in version 2.7. Alternatively, you can use Maven-eclipse-plugin version 2.5.1.

See Martijn Dashorst’s blog and this thread on the wicket-user mailing list for details.

In short: If your pom.xml file contains

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
</plugin>

replace it with this

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.1</version>
</plugin>
