MyEclipse version : 5.0GA
Eclipse version : 3.2
Operating system : Windows XP

I recently (yesterday) upgraded from MyEclipse 4.1 to 5.0GA

Everything seems to be working fine except;

Whenever I deploy my web project to my server, a dependent java project that normally would be put in the /WEB-INF/lib folder (as a jar file) is created but has a size of zero bytes… in other words is empty.

My setting for server is : <Custom Location>
My deployment type is: Exploded

As a work around, I am now exporting the java application seperately as a jar file, so I know there is nothing wrong with it.

This worked perfectly in the previous (4.1) release of Myeclipse. I am actually using the same workspace.

I have also tried deploying to a completely empty folder and I sill get a jar file with zero bytes.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Tayo,

Do you have ‘Build Automatically’ set for the workspace on the Project menu? Can you open the dependent Jar project’s bin or output directory in the Windows Explorer and see the .class files in there? Can you shutdown Tomcat, undeploy the application and then verify that everything is removed (in Windows) then redeploy the application and recheck the jar?

Build Automatically is set for the workspace on the Project menu
The dependent jar proect’s output directory does contain .class files.

I did a little more experimenting and actually found that Exporting the project as a WAR file fails. The IDE does not complain but neither does it export and create a war file. At this point it seems to have nothing to do with server deployment.

To get a clearer picture, I created a completely new workspaces (1 each for MyEclipse 4.1 and MyEclipse5.0GA) and took the following steps for both..

1: Checked out the necessary projects and code from CVS
2: Performed a complete rebuild of the workspace making sure there were no outstanding errors
3: Exported the web project as a WAR file

In MyEclipse4.1 a war file was created
In MyEclipse5.0 NO war file was created

I also looked up the log files found in the .metadata folder of the workspace. The logs of 5.0 show some exceptions, while that of 4.1 do not.

Below I am pasting the log from 5.0. … let me know if there is any more info that might help.

For now I will have to go back to using 4.1

I am having the same problem. It creates an empty jar files of dependent project when I deploy the web project. I think I will also go back using 4.1
