High Level Goal: Create a single Maven Web Application project that can be used correctly in both Netbeans and Eclipse
When converting a Maven project to Eclipse, the project type doesn't seem to be set to Dynamic Web App when using the command: mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0
In Eclipse, if creating a Dynamic Web Application, many more options are shown in the Project Explorer, such as: JAX-WS Web Services, Deployment Descriptor, etc. It's a completely different framework structure.
Also, after converting to Eclipse with the above command, I can't "Run" it even though the output from the conversion says: [INFO] Using as WTP server : Apache Tomcat v7.0. Instead of wanting to run as a web service, it asks me if this is Java Servlet, Applet, or Unit test.
With a Dynamic Web App (native Eclipse), this is what shows up when Running the project:
Maybe I am asking too much of Eclipse, and to get the built-in web app functionality, it can't come from Maven?
There is one other I could try. I could create a Dynamic Web App in Eclipse, then hit "Convert to Maven" . Take that POM, modify, then see if netbeans will also load it.
