Error: tomEE required to support EAR/EJB deployment error message

Question

I'm attempting to configure a spring MVC app so it builds a war file when the application is deployed. When I add the examqa:war artifact, I get the following error message (seen at the bottom of image)

Not sure where to look, didn't find any mention of this error when using google. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I got the same problem but solution was different. The problem was with artifact type which had to be changed from Java EE Application exploded to Web Application:Exploded/Archive

Answer 2

I changed artifact type from EAR to WAR (deleted the old one and created a new one). This solved the problem. In intellij, this can be done by going to artifacts in project-structure (alt+ctrl+shift+s).
