Solution

  • The solution is to remove "MavenDemo:war" artifact and "MavenDemo:war exploded" artifact from the project, and rebuild the project、rebuild artifacts. set the deployment artifact from MavenDemo:war to MaterialManager:war.

    I think the problem of this project is that the "MavenDemo:war" artifact and "MavenDemo:war exploded" artifact are repeated. So the solution is to remove them from the project.
