Thank you, but I can’t believe this wasn’t fixed in the 10.0 release!
I’m the only one left in my company that still uses MyEclipse. Everyone else has long since abandoned it for Intellij Idea or Netbeans. ME’s hot swap deploy works better than any of the others. so I don’t want to switch. My colleagues may spend more time rebuilding and redeploying than I do but I spend more time troubleshooting issues with my IDE than they do. Every time I upgrade to the latest version I cringe wondering which of my favorite features has broke.
After 5 years as a loyal ME user I started thinking that all the little bugs like this one, plus the lack of real Maven support for EE projects, cumulatively erode away whatever productivity I may gain from hot swap deploy. In fact I was ready to dump ME for Intellij but decided to give ME another chance when I saw the 10.0 release finally supports Maven EAR projects. But my frustration with ME’s reliability issues keeps me looking at Intellij and Netbeans. If either ever get hot swap deploy working as well as MyEclipse, I’m there.
