Java Development Tools

I am having a problem deploying to Weblogic using OEPE. I can deploy a simple project ok. I have another project which consists of four eclipse projects; web, domain, ear, and parent. I used to be able to deploy from eclipse to weblogic but I've done something to break it and I can't figure out what. It may have been some changes I needed to deploy an ear using Maven but it could have been something else. When I deploy the complex (4part managed by maven) project, I get an error telling me that the application.xml built by the plugin for the auto generated ear is missing the module tag. And, sure enough, it is.

For the simple project I see:
<application ...>
<display-name>autogenerated_ear_</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>SimpleWebProject.war</web-uri>
<context-root>simpleWeb</context-root>
</web>
</module>

</application>

When I deploy the bigger project I see that the module tag is missing:

<application ...>
<display-name>autogenerated_ear_</display-name>

</application>

So the question is how is the module tag getting built? I can't tell if it's something in web.xml, some eclipse file, or which project. It used to work but I'm not sure what I might have changed to stop it from working. All versions of eclipse, weblogic, and java are very current.

Some other info: the smaller simple web project is just that. The project(s) I am having problems with shows up in the add/remove tab with the parent project with the ear project underneath and the war under that.

Any ideas? I've had to rework the project to deploy on oc4j so I can work on it until I can resolve this.
