MANIFEST.MF (The system cannot find the path specified)

Question

I am trying to create the project as set out in the tutorial "http://crunchify.com/how-to-build-restful-service-with-java-using-jax-rs-and-jersey/". I have followed all the steps but I get thee POM error ....

Description Resource Path Location Type C:\Users\xxxxxx\workspace\CrunchifyRESTJerseyExample\target\m2e-wtp\web-resources\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF (The system cannot find the path specified) pom.xml /CrunchifyRESTJerseyExample line 1 Maven Configuration Problem

I've noticed that I have 2 Web Content folders: One under Deployed Resources, which does contain my MANIFEST.MF file and another at the same level as the Deployed Resources folder. Eclipse seems to be looking for it in the second WebContent folder where it is not located. Is there a simple fix for this?

Answer 1

I had similar problem and updating the Maven project solved it.

In Eclipse, right click on the project > Maven > Update Project

See this post: http://kodurishiva.blogspot.pt/2016/04/manifestmf-system-cannot-find-path.html

This situation returns when I do a maven clean.

Answer 2

Thre are two ways to solve this error.

From Eclipse:

Right-click on the project -> Go to Maven -> Update project.

The second way is from maven clean install using the command line maven.

Use the following command:

mvn clean

Go to Libraries tab in the projects' Build Path. JRE system library must be projects's default JRE.
