maven build fail in linux - maven

Question

This could be a nothing for an experienced developer. However, iam having this problem when trying to build my project in linux environment(Red Hat). It gives me following error.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.1.1:war (default-war) on project ABC: Error assembling WAR: webxml attribute is required (or pre-existing WEB-INF/web.xml if executing in update mode) -> [Help 1]
However, it works perfectly in windows environment.
Here is my Pom

Appreciate if someone can show me why i cannot build my application in linux environment.

Answer 1

Ok, I found the cause.
It is just i have missed to include web.xml configuration in war plugin
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<webXml>src\main\webApp\WEB-INF\web.xml</webXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Strange...
