Hi there,

I am encountering the same problem. Did you find a way to resolve this?

To sum up:
- module 1 depends on module 2
- module1/src/main/resources/META-INF/module1/config.xml contains:

<import resource="classpath:META-INF/module2/subConfig.xml" />

- module2/src/main/resources/META-INF/module2/subConfig.xml exists
- when deploying the module1 application, I get the following stacktrace:

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [META-INF/module2/subConfig.xml] cannot be opened because it does not exist
	at org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource.getInputStream(ClassPathResource.java:158) ~[spring-core-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar:3.0.4.RELEASE]
	at org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader.loadBeanDefinitions(XmlBeanDefinitionReader.java:328) ~[spring-beans-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar:3.0.4.RELEASE]
	... 37 common frames omitted

I've had a look at the deployed application and I found ...\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.s erver.core\tmp5\wtpwebapps\module1\WEB-INF\lib\module2.jar
and the file module2.jar contains subConfig.xml!

So it's like module1 cannot load resources within jar files. How is that possible?
Does anyone have a clue?

Ok, module2 was initially configured to be packaged as a WAR and then changed to JAR
Eclipse mixed the thing up and I had to delete module2 project and reimport it as a maven project into Eclipse to make everything right.

This and some other minor problems that prevented Eclipse from deploying completely the module1 war..
