RE: Issues while creating war using mergere

["Srinivasan, Nithya (Cognizant)" <Ni...@cognizant.com>]

Hi all
I am using Maven 2.0 plug-in with eclipse(mergere). How do I go about
the Project structue.In the case of a web application

Project
|-- src
|--target
	|--Classes
|-- webroot
	|--Meta-inf
	|--Web-Inf
	|-- ex.jsp

|--pom.xml

I place all the java files under src and the jsp files along with
web-inf.
When I ask it to package it says

FATAL ERROR: Error executing Maven for a project [ERROR] project-execute
: com.cts.webapp:WebProject:war:0.0.1 (
task-segment: [package] )

Does maven expect me to manually create project structure?
Please help me with fixing this issue
