    copied!<p>I'm coming from Ant perspective, so pardon me. I realise there are quite a few questions here already on how to maven dependencies, but none of them seem to tell how to do what need to do.</p> <p><strong>Question 1</strong>: Currently, in conjunction with using maven-war-plugin, when I run mvn war:war, it creates a war folder in target folder.</p> <p>However, I wish copy all the dependencies' jars to war/WEB-INF/lib set up by google eclipse plugin (with gae enabled, gwt disabled), without overwriting the jars that google eclipse plugin placed there.</p> <p>I don't wish to setup a war file or war directory. I just need to copy/consolidate all the non-gae jars with the gae jars so that when the project is run as a gae web app, Eclipse would not complain ClassNotFoundException. </p> <p><strong>Question 2</strong>: When using Ant in Eclipse, I could run Ant targets within Eclipse.</p> <p>Right now, I have to perform mvn commands from a shell window (which is mutually oblivious to the existence of an Eclipse session). It appears that the only thing that is automatically done is whenever I update dependencies.</p> <p>Is there a way, or any plugin for eclipse that would allow me to run mvn goals within Eclipse?</p> <p><strong>Additional info</strong>:</p> <p><code>mvn dependency:copy-dependencies</code> persists in copying to <code>target/dependency</code> directory, with the following:</p> <pre><code> &lt;plugin&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-dependency-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;executions&gt; &lt;execution&gt; &lt;id&gt;copy-dependencies&lt;/id&gt; &lt;phase&gt;process-resources&lt;/phase&gt; &lt;goals&gt; &lt;goal&gt;copy-dependencies&lt;/goal&gt; &lt;/goals&gt; &lt;configuration&gt; &lt;outputDirectory&gt;${basedir}/war/WEB-INF/lib/&lt;/outputDirectory&gt; &lt;overWriteReleases&gt;false&lt;/overWriteReleases&gt; &lt;overWriteSnapshots&gt;false&lt;/overWriteSnapshots&gt; &lt;overWriteIfNewer&gt;true&lt;/overWriteIfNewer&gt; &lt;excludeArtifactIds&gt;gwt-user,gwt-dev&lt;/excludeArtifactIds&gt; &lt;/configuration&gt; &lt;/execution&gt; &lt;/executions&gt; &lt;/plugin&gt; </code></pre> <p>I even tried changing to absolute path</p> <pre><code>&lt;outputDirectory&gt; /home/geek/eclipse/workspace/Demo-autoshoppe/holycow &lt;/outputDirectory&gt; </code></pre> <p>But holycow directory is still empty and mvn still persists in copying to <code>target/dependency</code> directory. My current solution is to softlink <code>target/dependency</code> as <code>war/WEB-INF/lib</code>, which is a very very bad kludge. Why is maven not sensitive to outputDirectory specification? I am using Ubuntu's maven 2.2.</p>
