I dont see a .war file in the target folder. Can someone please help

Here is my folder structure:

Answer 1

First you must define your project with as packaging of war type:

<groupId>...</groupId> <artifactId>...</artifactId> <version>...</version> <packaging>war</packaging> 

Then you will need to use the maven plugin to generate the war when compiling:

<plugin>     <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>     <configuration>         <attachClasses>true</attachClasses>         <webXml>target/web.xml</webXml>         <webResources>             <resource>                 <directory>src/main/webapp</directory>                 <filtering>true</filtering>             </resource>         </webResources>     </configuration> </plugin> 

Answer 2

Try running clean install or clean package maven command.

Project > run as > run config > maven build in left panel > right click > new > goal > clean install > base directory> select your current project workspace.> apply> run

same way for clean package or any other maven command.

if it gives BUILD SUCCESS then fine otherwise put that error code here in the question.
