Eclipse mvn project deploy to jboss

Question

I changed my project to use maven2 (from just plain eclipse dynamic web project) and now I can't do Debug As > Debug on Server (JBoss).

Previously I can just do Debug As > Debug on Server (JBoss) and Eclipse will happily copy the war file into jboss deploy directory and I can debug etc.

Now it seems like eclipse just don't recognize the maven2 project and therefore cannot package the war file? I have to deploy it manually using the command line mvn war:war and copy the war file to deploy directory.

What can I do to make Eclipse understand mvn project so I can just do Debug As > Debug on Server?

Use m2eclipse (and the extra Maven Integration for WTP). Once installed, Import... your webapp project as Existing Maven Projects and it will get imported as a dynamic web project.
