How can I create Servlet project with maven in Intellij Idea?

I have created a maven project in Intellij Idea. I also added jetty's maven dependency to pom file.
What should I do then to create servlet project?
Should I create webapp\WEB-INF\web.xml folder in main\java manually? or there is some maven plugins which I must add to Pom.xml file and after clicking install in Lifecycle, related folders and files will be created automatically?
Pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

</project>

I recommend to use maven archetype to create project:
org.apache.maven.archetypes:maven-archetype-webapp
Then you should create directory java in src/main,then right click-> Mark Directory As -> Sources Root.
By default, you have web.xml in version 2.3 so that's mean you cannot user CDI for example.
If you want to change it go to File->Project Structure->Facets(or Modules) and then delete Web Descriptor from Deployment Descriptors and then add new web.xml(+) and choose version 3.1.
I hope it should work. At this moment I don't know any other way to achieve that

Maven - Transitive dependencies are not resolved for artifact deployed on Artifactory

I have two projects - A and B, where A is dependent on B. I package B as jar and deploy it on a maven server (artifactory), and then include that jar as a normal dependency on project A in pom file. jar file of B shows up in the Maven Dependencies of project A, but dependencies of project B are not shown in dependency hierarchy. It is causing class not found exception for dependencies of B.
However, my project A and B and in same eclipse workspace. When I open project B, project A starts referencing the project B from the workspace instead of remote repository and everything works well.
This question - Maven. Transitive dependencies was closest to my problem, but dependencies of my project B are NOT optional.
Whats going wrong here?

I am using maven quickstart archetype. Project structure of my projects is (which I package as jar):
project-name
src/main/java
src/test/java
pom.xml

To successfully resolve transitive dependencies, project B's jar and pom.xml must be accessible in the Maven repository. When deploying artifacts to a remote repository, be sure both the jar and pom.xml are deployed and available for download.
With the requisite files deployed to the remote repository, use the command line to build project A. Specify a build Maven target to trigger the downloading of all dependencies into the local Maven repository. Something like mvn compile or mvn package will trigger the downloads and successfully build project A.
Once, project B's jar and pom.xml are in the local Maven repository, update the Maven projects in Eclipse and they will rebuild and resolve the dependencies correctly.

Maven build Automation for a web Application

I have three modules of a project, getting developed as two seperate jars and one WAR. WAR is referring to two other jar. Please see the details below-
1.processDAO-this is a java Project producing a jar(processDAO.jar)
2.ProcessModel-this is a java project producing a jar(processModel.jar). And in pom.xml it is referring (processDAO.jar)
3.ProcessWebApp-this is Main web app project as War producing (processWebApp.WAR). Now this is using (processModel.jar)
Now currently after each development when I need to build the WAR file I first build -(processDAO.jar)
then 2nd- processModel.jar
and in last I build ProcessWebApp.WAR
So each time I have to follow this sequential build process. Now, I want whenever I go to build my ProcessWebApp.WAR other dependency gets build automatically in same sequential manner(1->2->3).
Any advice on this will be very helpful.
Environment I am using Eclipse which have mavenplugin. I just right click on every project and do RunAs 'Maven install'.

Listen there several issues with the way you have created your pom or what you want to achieve.
A minor comment on the existing samples is to fix the <groupid> element usually it is something of com.xxx.my.company and is not identical with the artifact id.
Now from what I understand it seems that you are still changing the code on the dependent modules, so that means you are releasing SNAPSHOT versions (otherwise you wont need to check the compatibility of your libs every time right?). See this question on using xxx-SNAPSHOT here
Also check the use of the -U flag mvn clean install -U . See mvn -help.
-U,--update-snapshots Forces a check for missing
releases and updated snapshots on
remote repositories

This is usually achieved by use of a parent project POM, the only purpose of which is to build the modules that it depends on. When creating the POM, specify the packaging type as 'POM' and then specify your WAR and JARs as module elements. There's a pretty good example and description of this on Sonatype's site here.

Error building Selenium+Maven: missing pom.xml

I am new to Selenium and Maven tools. Trying to set up the Selenium 2.0 Java project using Maven, via this guide.
After creating and saving pom.xml in my project directory, I run mvn clean install and get the following error:
(...)
The goal you specified requires a project to execute but there is no POM
in this directory (C:\Users\User\Documents\TestAutomation). Please verify you invoked Maven from the
correct directory. -> [Help 1]
My pom.xml looks like this, as in the example from the link:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
<version>2.45.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
I have Maven 3.3.1 and Java 1.8.0 installed on Windows 7.
Any idea, what am I doing wrong? I have little experience with testing tools in general.

OK, the problem was with the file extension. It was actually saved as pom.xml.txt, not pom.xml as I expected. (found that via dir command)

MavenError: Failed to execute goal on project: Could not resolve dependencies In Maven Multimodule project

I am trying to create a maven multi-module project. the project is created successfully but when I am trying to use one module as a dependency of another module, it throws an exception. When I create a module using eclipse, I was selecting packaging as a jar, but when the module is created, the packaging tag was not mention in child pom.xml and I manually insert the packaging tag as a jar.
following is my parent pom.xml:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

The Dao module maven clean and install successfully, but when i trying to use service module, it will generate an following exception:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project empirecl-service: Could not resolve dependencies for project com.netsol:empirecl-service:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at com.netsol:empirecl-dao:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for com.netsol:empirecl-dao:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact com.netsol:empirecl:pom:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -> [Help 1]

I am trying the find to solution from web, but still the solution is not found. In eclipse when i open the Dependency Hierarchy of service module, it shown the DAO module as a folder not jar. below is the screen shot of Dependency Hierarchy of service module.

In case anybody comes back to this, I think the problem here was failing to install the parent pom first, which all these submodules depend on, so the Maven Reactor can't collect the necessary dependencies to build the submodule.
So from the root directory (here D:\luna_workspace\empire_club\empirecl) it probably just needs a:
mvn clean install
(Aside: <relativePath>../pom.xml</relativePath> is not really necessary as it's the default value).

In my case I forgot it was packaging conflict jar vs pom. I forgot to write
<packaging>pom</packaging>
In every child pom.xml file

My solution was to insert <packaging>pom</packaging> between artifactId and version
<groupId>com.onlinechat</groupId>
<artifactId>chat-online</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<modules>
<module>server</module>
<module>client</module>
<module>network</module>
</modules>

This what worked for me -
Go to Java build path --> Order and Export(check JRE system libraries and maven dependencies) in my case these 2 were unchecked.

My solution:
remove all projects in current workspace
import all again
maven update project (Alt + F5) -> Select All and check Force Update of Snapshots/Releases
maven build (Ctrl + B) until there is nothing to build
It worked for me after the second try.

For me, adding the following block of code under <dependency management><dependencies> solved the problem.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.el</artifactId>
<version>3.0.1-b06</version>
</dependency>

Check with your VPN connection, if you are working in home.

Delete or close all other projects, and restart netbeans IDE, and try again.
