No classes in war maven

Question

I'm pretty new in using og maven, an I got stuck. mvn clean install does not generate classes :(

I'm using the following code in my pom :

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
      <configuration>
        <webXml>WebContent\WEB-INF\web.xml</webXml>
        <archiveClasses>true</archiveClasses>
       </configuration>
</plugin>

Answer 1

Please read the usage page first, it will show the expected folder structure. So java sources are expected in src/main/java. BTW: If you still want to use WebContent , set the warSourceDirectory to WebContent , remove all other configuration.
