I’m trying to set the project deployment policy for a web project. On the Deployment tab I have tried every possible option but basically what I want is this:

Only the items that are checked on the “Order and Export” tab should be deployed to the WEB-INF/lib directory. Nothing else, period.

How an I configure my project to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Mark,
Unfortunately the Order and Export settings are not honored during deployment of WAR files (Order/Export is used to handle build paths of dependent projects and our EAR deployment does honor them). The deployment tool allows you to handle deployment rules based on the *type* of library. We have a high priority item ni the works that will allow fine grained controls over deployments and filtering in a future release.

Mark,
A co-worker pointed out to me that MyEclipse may simply be doing something different than you might have expected it to be. We do support all sorts of combinations of deploying project dependencies, most of it managed under project properties then MyEclipse > Web > Deployment. If you are still having a problem with this let me know your project layout and I’ll help you out.

Mark,

Specifically, this is covered in our “Working with Web Projects” quickstart in Section 10.
