WSO2 AS + Developer Studio + maven project

Question

I'm figuring out how to develop a JAX-RS service with WSO2 Developer Studio (2.1.0) and deploy it to a WSO2 AS 5.0.1 server.

When I create a new CAR project containing a JAX-RS Service project I can start and deploy the CAR on the running WSO2 AS 5.0.1 service right from Eclipse.

However, as I install the m2eclipse plugin and include maven-dependencies in the project these dependencies are not on the classpath of the deployed WAR module.

What is the recommended way to handle maven dependencies in a JAX-RS project?

Answer 1

Right now the maven dependencies you declare in pom.xml are not added to the classpath of the Developer Studio projects and vice-versa. We will fix this issue in a future Developer Studio version.

As a workaround for the moment, you need to add the dependencies to the project classpath manually.
