jar file got extra ".jar" extension in lib folder

Question

I am facing a weird issue. I don't know whether it is an "apache-tomcat-5.5.25 with Openejb" issue or Eclipse.

I have one Maven project. I do maven clean and maven install. After that I add that project into "apache-tomcat-5.5.25 with Openejb" server and then publish the project into the server.

The problems start here. When I check the published lib folder, I find that some of the jar files have an extra extension of ".jar". For example "xyz.jar" becomes "xyz.jar.jar".

Any ideas why this happens?

Follow the problem upstream: What did Maven produce in it's target folder?

If it's there, too, run Maven with -X, write the log into a file and search that file for the broken JAR name.

I checked target folder and everything is fine there. problem occurred when i published it to the server. – Mahendra Athneria May 21 '12 at 08:31
What tools do you use to publish? Did you clean the server and publish again to see if it was a one time glitch? – Aaron Digulla May 21 '12 at 08:36
You didn't say whether you deleted all the files on the server manually before you redeploy. – Aaron Digulla May 21 '12 at 08:44
"Eclipse" is a platform. Which plug-ins do you use? WTP? Sysdeo Tomcat Plugin? – Aaron Digulla May 21 '12 at 08:47
i have deleted all the files manually from server.even i have deleted server too and created new server. for publishing i am using Tomcat plugin. – Mahendra Athneria May 21 '12 at 09:03
You seem to be doing everything right. Try the Maven WAR plugin and deploy using Tomcat's admin UI. If that works, it must be a bug in the Tomcat plugin. – Aaron Digulla May 21 '12 at 09:09
