Hi guys,
The project I am currently working on is a huge J2EE/Weblogic application, but was not written in a development environment.
It consists of about 7 web/ejb modules, all of which are JAR/WAR’d up, and placed in a single EAR file. The build process is completed using a multitude of Ant scripts.The problem I have is migrating from this build process to a situation in which I can make Eclipse perform the build, allowing me to deploy the application from Eclipse and thus debug it in Weblogic.
I assume I cannot build the EAR file myself using Ant, then deploy and debug it (including using breakpoints) in MyEclipse?
Anyone have any suggestions to make this process easier?
Regards,
Jim
Jim,

Actually, you can do just that. Just remember to ensure that your Ant scripts either recompile with debugging turned on or you simply package the class files from the Eclipse environment. As long as you start WebLogic with one of our connectors, full debugging will be available to you, regardless of how you deployed.
Anyone have any suggestions to make this process easier?
Doing your own deployment is a good first step for a large, existing application. We’ll be adding support for more flexible project structures (and dependencies) in the future so the migration should be come easier than it is now. But in the meantime, using your existing deployment infrastructure seems like a good fit.
