----------------------------------------------

             Summary: Non-Jar type dependency generates invalid entry in .classpath file
                 Key: MECLIPSE-746
                 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-746
             Project: Maven Eclipse Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.9
            Reporter: Jean-François Lecomte
            Priority: Minor


Not sure if it is a good practice, but when a JAR requires a DLL at runtime, I add it in the maven repo. It usually works fine, I use the dependency plugin to copy the dll in my working directory and when I generate my eclipse project, they are not included in the classpath... except for one case: the javax.comm's dll.

I refer to my DLL like this:
{code:xml}
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax.comm</groupId>
            <artifactId>win32com</artifactId>
            <version>3.0-u1</version>
            <type>dll</type>
            <scope>runtime</scope>
        </dependency>
{code}
When I generate the eclipse project using the command:
{noformat}
mvn eclipse:eclipse
{noformat}
the generated .classpath file contains:
{code:xml}
  <classpathentry kind="var" path="M2_REPO/javax/comm/win32com/3.0-u1/win32com-3.0-u1.dll"/>
{code}

When loading the project in Eclipse, I get the following error:
"Archive for required library: '.m2/repository/javax/comm/win32com/3.0-u1/win32com-3.0-u1.dll' in project '...' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file"
