Thanks to the MyEclipse guys for putting up the E3M8 update to their software. I’ve just finished my setup and things are working good.
But still have one issue I hope someone can help me resolve. The build script I’m using is pretty complex and during deployment there is a lot more going on than moving files/directories around. Lots of generated code, etc. So unless I’m mistaken can’t use the deploy function of MyEclipse to deploy my project to the app server. That’s quite OK. I didn’t expect the product to do that but its something to think about in the future (i.e. stronger Ant support).
Anyway, my question is this. I want to be able to deploy using my ant script but I still want the niceness of being able to edit JSPs in Eclipse, save the edits and observe the changes real time on my app server without having to do a JSP re-deploy. It seems the deploy functions in MyE are tied to this capability but what happens if I’m not constantly deploying using MyE but I’m using my ant script. Can I still deploy JSPs real time to a target app server? I have tried various ways to do this by deploying ant and deploying using MyE after but still have not been able to do this. It would be a big time saver for me.
Thx for any responses.
