I have a problem packaging a web application based on vaadin. I have two projects in my workspace called project A and project B. Project A is referencing B and the dependencies are resolven within the workspace and degub mode correctly, by adding the project to the classpath.

Now if I try to maven package, I always get the error 

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-war-plugin:2.2:war (default-war) on project A: Failed to copy file for artifact [com.dscsag.dscxps:ProjectB:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT:compile]: C:\some_path\target\classes (Access is denied) -> [Help 1]

What should I do?

I had the same error message before. In pom.xml I changed maven-war-plugin version from 2.3 to 2.6, then the project was built successfully. 

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.6</version>
</plugin>
