EAR generated using the maven plugin missing the compiled class files in root folder.

[shylajasastry]

Maven Plugin version:

Maven version: 2.8.0

Product : Either of TIBCO ActiveMatrix Businessworks 6 OR TIBCO Businessworks Container edition

Product version: 2.6.2

Component: Either of Maven Eclipse Plugin or Maven build plugin

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Java source being used in the same application
2. Run maven clean package to create ear
3. This results in class not found error.

Additional environment details if any:
Happens with both BW6 and BWCE

Describe the results you received:
Class file not being compiled/bundled in ear in the root folder where application is expecting it

Describe the results you expected:
Class file should be included in ear in the root folder.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):
n/a

I think I might be having the same problem... when I run mvn install on my local machines it generates compiled files to the package root... but when I run it on my dev environment it doesn't. I'm using the same plugin version, the same maven version and plugins on both machines.

Running it on my local machines:

[INFO] BW Module Packager Mojo finished execution.

It lacks the com/tibco/* entries and I cannot understand why.

++This results in a class not found error as the bw appnode seems to not look for the .class files under the bin folder.

++From what I understand this packaging being done by the bw maven plugin it self as the pom.xml from my project specifies:
bwmodule
which, as you can see, is the exact same version on both local and dev environment (2.8.1)

[VascoGilMesquita]

So I found a kind of "workaround" for this.

1. Right click on the project, Properties > Java Build Path and check the option "Allow output folder for source folders", press [OK]
2. Build your Project
3. Check if the /target/classes/* folder has the .class files

Now if you do a "maven package/install/deploy" your package will contain the .class files. Problem is... this is not being done in build time which I don't think it's suitable.

@Strickmabil Thank you. I found that class is being created for me but is in the /bin folder now but I have to move this to the expected location which is different when ear is created using Studio. So I could workaround by manually moving it to correct path and then creating the ear so the class folder/file gets included but like you said it is a "workaround".
