How to get rid of "The web.xml file does not exist" error in Eclipse from GWT Plugin?
<p>I use Eclipse to develop my <code>REST</code> server, and <code>GWT</code> client in one project. To build this project I use <code>Maven</code>. Server side code is developed in <code>Spring Framework</code> and everything I configure using <code>Java</code> instead of <code>XML</code> files, so I don't have any <code>web.xml</code> file. </p>

<p>To compile project I have in maven <code>pom.xml</code> special entry as follow:</p>

<pre><code>        &lt;plugin&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-war-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
            &lt;version&gt;2.6&lt;/version&gt;
            &lt;configuration&gt;
                &lt;failOnMissingWebXml&gt;false&lt;/failOnMissingWebXml&gt;
            &lt;/configuration&gt;
        &lt;/plugin&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Application (Spring server side and GWT client side) compiles and works as supposed. There is no problem, beside Eclipse, which point me out that I don't have <code>web.xml</code> file. Here is whole Eclipse error information:</p>

<pre><code>Description                     | Resource | Path                 | Location | Type

The web.xml file does not exist | WEB-INF  | /cms/src/main/webapp | Unknown  | Google Web App Problem
</code></pre>

<p>As You can see error comes from GWT Eclipse plugin. But this plugin doesn't know that I use GWT only for client, and it shouldn't report me that error.</p>

<p>I wonder can and how to turn it off.</p>
