Eclipse Web application deployment problem with Maven on JBoss

Question

I have the following pom.xml (see below) for building a web-app on JBoss. I run maven like this:

mvn clean compile war:exploded jboss:hard-undeploy jboss:hard-deploy jboss:start-and-wait

Every goals run fine until i hit jboss:start-and-wait goal:\ JBoss refuses to start. I got the following error:

(...)
[INFO] [jboss:start-and-wait {execution: default-cli}]
[INFO] Starting JBoss...
[INFO] Waiting to retrieve JBoss JMX MBean connection...
[INFO] Waiting to retrieve JBoss JMX MBean connection...
[INFO] Waiting to retrieve JBoss JMX MBean connection...
[INFO] Waiting to retrieve JBoss JMX MBean connection...
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Unable to get JBoss JMX MBean connection: null

org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.rmi.RMIAdaptor
(...)

By activating the DEBUG option on maven, i detected that the root cause is a ClassNotFoundException org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.rmi.RMIAdaptor. Why do I get this exception since my pom.xml does contain org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.rmi.RMIAdaptor in the jmx-adaptor-plugin jar dependency? Using jboss-all-client jar as dependency gives no more results.

What am I missing?

Try adding it to your plugin dependencies:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.0</version>
    <configuration>
    <fileName>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}</fileName>
    <serverName>web</serverName>
    </configuration>
    <dependencies>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.jboss.jbossas</groupId>
        <artifactId>jboss-as-client</artifactId>
        <type>pom</type>
        <version>5.1.0.GA</version>
    </dependency>

    </dependencies>
</plugin>
