Hello,

I’m using MyEclipse 3.8.4 on Eclipse 3.0.1. Im wondering why it is not possible to make a certain module out of my project to an web module. My project consists of the follwing structure:

myProjectRoot
+– libs
+– src
+—- web
+—— src
+—— webapp
+——– WEB-INF
+– core
+– applet

What I want to do is to add myProjectRoot as enterprise application app and the content of myProjectRoot/src/web to an web application module within(!) the myProjectRoot. Is this possible with MyEclipse? When I try to create a new web module I always got the error: “X:/myProjectRoot and X:/myProjectRoot/src/web overlap”. Any ideas?

Thank you a lot!

Regards
Stephan

This is not possible to do heriarchical projects like this. what you CAN do however is:

1) Add web capabilities to this project, set your web root to /src/web/webapp
2) Create a new enterprise application project, and add the project you created in step #1 as a module of it.

Hi,

thanks for answering my question.

What would you say, what is the prefered structure for a project with a huge number of modules in MyEclipse so I can make several (web)modules without this “overlap problem”?

Thank you.

This is the typical layout for a web module:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/FAQ+index-myfaq-yes-id_cat-30.html#111

It’s basically a Java Project, with a src dir, and then another dir (webroot) that is set to be your WebRoot dir, from there everything under the webroot should be in the format of an exploded WAR. This is the easiest and most supported format for most all IDEs (because dev layout == deployment layout and is defined by web spec).

From here you can add any number of these to an enterprise project for deployment as an EAR.
