Maven update changing context root of project in eclipse

Working on a Spring app and using Maven 3 as a build tool. My app was working properly in Eclipse Neon on Windows machine.
Now I'm using Oxygen on Mac system. My app need a specific context root i.e. /app.
When I update(maven update) it after setting context-root by changing .settings/org.eclipse.wst.common.component file or web project setting properties, it reverts context-root again to app.
Here is my pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
4.0.0
abc
app
war

Is there any other way to change context-root or any idea why maven update changing context root?

See M2E-WTP FAQ.
It says that specifying
<properties>
<m2eclipse.wtp.contextRoot>/app</m2eclipse.wtp.contextRoot>
...
</properties>
would do the trick. At least it does for me on Eclispe 2018-12 (4.10.0) and M2E 1.10.0
Older solutions like this does not seem to work.

When you use a maven project, IDEs typically import settings from the POM file, so instead of changing IDE settings, you should update your POM and it will be automatically imported when you update.
In your case, try changing wtpContextName, finalName in your POM and updating / reimporting.

This is my error message which is coming:

I had a similar problem (Sprint Boot 1.5 and Kettle 8) and I found out the problem/conflict is with kettle-core and kettle-engine.
I excluded slf4j and servlet in those dependencies:
<!-- Pentaho Kettle -->

Situation
I had an similar issue with my server application using Spring Boot 2.2.6.RELEASE, but it was not the fault of Spring boot, but my usage of Wiremock for testing in combination with starting my application inside an IDE:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getHttpServletMapping()Ljavax/servlet/http/HttpServletMapping;
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest.setRequest(ApplicationHttpRequest.java:708)
at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationHttpRequest.<init>(ApplicationHttpRequest.java:114)
...
org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)
My application works even with those exceptions, but for testing and debugging I do not want to have those distractions and would prefer to avoid them.
Details
WireMock (e.g. 2.26.3) uses internally Jetty 9. But Jetty does not include internally Servlet API 4 but 3 and there seems to be not much progress, even for jetty 10/11 etc. - see https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/issues/4578
IDE start
So when starting an IDE which does not separate automatically between runtime dependencies and test dependencies, you will have Jetty included Servlet 3 API in your classpath!
Server start by jar
In my integration tests where my application was started with runtime dependencies only, I did not have any of those exceptions, because having no jetty dependencies.
Solution
So in my case I got three possibilities to solve the problem for IDE starts:
change classpath ordering in IDE launch configuration
separate my dependencies so project used for server start does no have dependencies also in IDE, or
switch Spring Boot Web start dependency from tomcat to jetty ...

Like #user1695936 said:
The problem is that mondrian includes an older version of servlet-ap (v2.4) that does not have the method getVirtualServerName()
Check for dependencies with javax.servlet with this:
mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=javax.servlet
pentaho:mondrian:jar:8.3.0.0-371:compile
| +- javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:2.4:compile
| \- javax.servlet:jsp-api:jar:2.0:compile
and exclude the old versions like the example below:
<dependency>
<groupId>pentaho-kettle</groupId>
<artifactId>kettle-engine</artifactId>
<version>${pentaho-kettle.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>

Spring Boot and Logback: Exception thrown from ApplicationListener handling ContextClosedEvent

The application works fine, but this exception is thrown at the end of the operation. I have tried to find anything related, but those solutions do not help my case...

I had this same problem with my Spring Boot 1.5.2 application. Upgrading both logback-core and logback-classic to at least version 1.1.3 fixed it.

Edit 1
As per PSR's suggestion, the error occurs when the following dependency is added
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.3</version>
</dependency>

The problem will come because of one of the dependency.Try to remove all dependencies first what you shown.Then try to add one by one then we can find out the problem where it is

Check for multiple version for spring jars in your class path. we have spring-dao and spring-tx in class path. removing spring-dao fixed issue.

You can see the maven is loading alot of diff versions then I need. can someone please help me with this.

If you run
mvn dependency:tree
you will see all the dependencies.
They will be displayed in a tree view (as the command suggests).

I dont know what the issue was but I created a new webapp and copied in my source and the pom.xml and everything is working great
