    When exporting an EAR file it takes the existing file and backs it up to <applicationname>.ear.myeclipse.bak. This prevents you from exporting it a second time to the same folder. I am exporting directly do a Jboss server for easy deployment.

    Anyone have any idea how to remove this feature to prevent the resource backup?

    You should be presented with an option at the bottom of the deployment screen to Overwrite/Delete or Backup the existing deployment. Just select Delete and make sure your app server isn’t running.

    There are no options when exporting. Just which project you want to export and the path where you want to export it to. I am using MyEclipse 4.1.1

    Don’t use export, use the deployment tool from the toolbar menu as outlined here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/appservers/

    in section 6
