I saw ME 2.8 can deploy dependant projects in a Web Project.
It would be very nice for me if dependant projects would be deployed by the Enterprise Application Project into the ear in the meta-inf/lib directory. Will this be possible?
To give some background: I have an application with several EJB’s and Web Modules sharing some code. Now I export this code to a jar and deploy it manually. I would very much like it when the shared code would be deployed in the meta-inf/lib directory by MyEclipse.
Mopper I”ve asked someone in the know to take a look at this, last I knew we were talking about support for something along these lines but there were still a lot of questions that needed to be answered.

The problem with that is that while you might like them there, it’s not part of the spec and others would like them in equally desirable but random (spec-wise) places. As a result, we’ll be looking into truly flexible project and deployment support over the summer.

You can accomplish what you want in the interim by creating the meta-inf/lib folder in your EAR project and then placing the jars in that directory using the Navigator view. Once their in the project, the deployer will automatically pick them up, thus saving you the manual deployment.
Thanks for the quick reactions.

A flexible approach would indeed be better of course.

The jar’s are changed every now and then by other project members, so I would have to build the jars all the time in order to deploy them in the EAR. Ideally I would get a latest version of the java source files and MyEclipse would build the jar and put it into the EAR, just like the lib jars are handled by web module projects now. Well, I can work with some workarounds now.
