Trying to deploy a SpringBoot Maven project on my Tomcat in Eclipse.

First problem: the lib directory is empty after deployment, Maven is not doing the job although the dependencies are in the Build Path. First solution: i added manually my Maven's dependencies to the deployment structure in Property > Deployment Assembly, and this worked fine.

Second problem: each and everytime i update my Maven's project, the Deployment Assembly goes back to the original state (no Maven's dependencies in WAR) and again i have to do the job manually.

Tried everything i could, everything i've found here, still not working.

My pom.xml:

Found the answer here.

I did not have m2e-wtp plugin installed, this fixed my problem.
