Hi Scott & co.,

It is a bit annoying, that when I create a new project, I have to set the library source and javadoc directory again and again for the libraries which got copied to the project.

Is it not possible somehow to set this in advance, so that whenever the capability libraries get copied into the project, it sets the source/javadoc attributes of the copy destination library automatically from the preset values?

Other, loosely related question:

– is it possible to specify if a user library should be copied to WEB-INF/lib, or not (e.g. JDBC drivers vs Struts libraries)?

And an other regarding J2EE library sets

– a new J2EE library set could possibly be invented for Tomcat 5, which is J2EE1.4 in web area, but no additional J2EE features are provided in it (so no JMS, no activation, no javamail, no EJB),

– or even better, J2EE library sets should be user configurable (additional library sets could be specified, with feature dependencies if necessary, like it is compatible/incompatible with JSTL 1.0, JSTL1.1, JSF 1.0, JSF 1.1, Struts 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc., and provides JSDK 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and provides EJB 1.1, EJB 2.0, EJB 2.1 [, EJB 3.0])

you could edit your .classpath file. In fact, that’s what I do – simply copy the entries from one project’s .classpath to another. You only have to pay attention for absolute paths.

This has been on our TODO list for a while, as well as shipping source/doc with the libraries we support.

On deployment, yes, check your Web Pojrect > Deployment settings.

Jürgen,

That’s what I am speaking about as annoying. Whenever I create a new project, I have to do that. I would like to see it automatically done.
