It would be swell if pressing the app server start/stop button (as opposed to bringing up its drop-down menu) could be a shortcut for “stop/start the most recently started/stopped server”. So you could start up Tomcat or JBoss or whatever, then click the button once to bring it down and again to bring it back up.
On a related note, one-button redeployment would be nice. I only have one web project defined in my deployment list, and it’s annoying to have to click on the deployment button to bring up the deployment dialog, select the single item in the list control, hit the Redeploy button, then hit OK to get back to my code. I want a click on that button to mean “redeploy the last deployment” by default; it should be a menu button like the app servers button, where the menu contains the list of known deployments (selecting one redeploys it) and an “Edit Deployments…” menu item that brings up the current dialog.
Or, if that’s too much to ask for, at least save me one click by remembering the previously selected deployment or auto-selecting the first one in the list when the deployments dialog comes up.
Thanks!
