A few months ago (possibly two), I mentioned the need for what I’m calling ‘inter-project dependency resultion’. I’m defining this as a JSP/Web project needing the libraries and output of another Eclipse project (most frequently a project to define a taglib).
At the time, it was recomemded to me that I ‘export’ my taglib project into my JSP project, and every time I made a change, export again. The problems I had at the time concerning the work-around was the manual step (my JSP project depends on three other libraries, so updating/exporting things can get cumbersom) plus this solution didn’t deliver the libraries for these dependencies (i.e.: I need the class files for the library, plus the libraries to build/run the library). It was also mentioned at the time that inter-project dependencies were going to be addressed in a future (soon) version.
Since this time, 2.5, 2.51 and 2.6 have been released, but none of the announcements have mentioned anything about dependency resolution.
What is the intended time-frame for implementing/releasing a feature that can resolve inter-project dependnecies? The lack of this feature is probably the biggest deterent from me purchasing a subscription.
Otherwise, great project!!
