Just testing this, it appears you might need to configure the pom

<includes>
<include>**/*</include>

OK, I did this and now the resources are showing up in top level of
the built app jar; the properties files also. But, the app is still
trying to connect to an app named JavaWebObjects, so it's thinking the
url is:
http://localhost/MWWTest/WebObjects/JavaWebObjects.woa
So, wrong name and it's looking for a built .woa which also isn't
there. Hmmm....
Looking at the catalina logs on start up, I came across this
interesting line:
Jan 26 15:03:33 JavaWebObjects[-1] (ERXFileUtilities.java:540) WARN
er.extensions.foundation.ERXFileUtilities - Can't get path when run
as jar: app - Properties.bill
Perhaps part of this is due to Wonder not being able to correctly
initialize on start up due to not being able to reach the Properties
file? Pure speculation on my part; perhaps somebody else may know
better. I'll post a separate question on the wonder list.
So I guess the lesson here is that the default war packaging plug in
doesn't work correctly for WO apps. Bummer. Any idea on how I can make
this part of my own Viet Nam by contributing towards fixing it? I'd be
happy to, and I understand it's not a top priority for most WO
people. I'm really liking Maven over all, especially with all the
nice possible integrations such as Hudson and Nexus. Thanks Lachlan.
I'm not getting anything under WEB-INF that I'd expect, including
the app.woa, which would normally contain the contents and
resources stuff;
If the default output dir isn't correct for servlets then configure
that also for each resource above also.
all I'm seeing is a lib directory LICENSE, classes (file) and
web.xml. Nothing from the resources directory under src/main/
resources is included either.
See above. After building - check the contents of lib/
YourProject.jar OR set <archiveClasses>false</archiveClasses>.
Let me know how you get on...
Can anybody confirm that they're able to build a useable war using
the new plug in? Thanks
included from my earlier reply as I'd incorrectly stated I was
using the original woapplication-archetype plug in. These are two
different plug ins, correct?
Sorry, I incorrectly referred to the woapplication-archetype; I'm
actually using the newer maven-wolifecycle-plugin. To restate the
essence of the original question, I'm trying to determine how
properties possibly required by maven or one of the plugs ins
should be set as I'm having one problem with getting the app to
resolve to the proper jar within the built war. And another issue
is that none of the original Properties files, containing stuff
required by Wonder and a whole lot more, are now included in the
war built by maven. I would think this is something simple and
obvious... please please tell me that's the case;-) So, anybody
know how we're supposed to make this happen? Thanks.

Using latest Eclipse, WOLips (largely irrelevant here), the
woapplication-archetype and the m2Eclipse plug in, I'm able to
easily create wo apps, set them up for war packaging, get them to
build and install into the local maven repos. So, experimenting
with the next steps, decided to try automating the deployment to
my local tomcat using the cargo plug in. I had to follow the
instructions here:
http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WONDER/Creating+a+wonder+app+to+deploy+as+a+servlet
to create the subclass of ERXServletAdaptor in order to avoid the
dreaded WOServletAdaptor not found exception, but then I get
another exception as the generated classpath seems to be pointing
to an app named "JavaWebObjects" and not my app, although the
first part of the url (context path) is correct, so it's trying
to find components and other resources using this url:
http://localhost/MWWTest/WebObjects/JavaWebObjects.woa
I _think that build.properties used to have all this stuff, but
now that I'm not using ant here how do I convey the right
properties values in this environment?
afaik the woproject-maven plugin still uses the build.properties.
I've attached what I get when creating a new app.
Where should I put them, and what should they be called? Thanks.
Disclaimer: I don't currently deploy to servlets - but I'd suggest
checking the resulting web.xml.
