Hi All,

I discovered this option for the Maven lifecycle plugin:

<configuration>
<flattenComponents>true</flattenComponents>
</configuration>

I tried it and I can see inside the target directory it was honored… but the error message is still the same, cannot find UserSwitcher.

I’m trying to launch from within Eclipse but I don’t understand how to get it to go. I don’t see the .woa built anywhere, is this a type of bundles build process? Or where is the .woa built? It’s not in the target folder.

Thank you,
— Aaron
