Question

Eclipse with run-jetty-run suddenly starts to fail with the message:

Things done to try to fix:

• Delete de workspace and regenerate
• Reinstall eclipse
• Reimport the maven project

Eclipse Kepler SR2 + run-jetty-run

Answer 1

Quite weird.

I changed the run-jetty server version from 8 to 7 and the error changed to a maven library dependency.

I deleted this library from my local maven repository (.m2/repositories/...), reinstalled and now is working perfectly.
