I’ve downloaded a web project created with regular Eclipse EE, but MyEclipse7.0 doesn’t recognize it like web prj. After that i added web capabilities to project, but still i can’t deploy it to TOMCAT. The big mess comes from that, .classpath is also included in the SVN checkout and under project->build path there is Server Library(unbound).
So briefly, Eclipse adds server runtime environment to classpath of web projects, but in MyEclipse i can’t find such configuration!
So how to migrate “painlessly” project from WTP to MyEclipse?

I’m afraid you cannot migrate directly from WTP to MyEclipse. You will have to create a new Web Project in MyEclipse and transfer you code to this MyEclipse project.

Is this still a problem?

Question what I really need to know is: Are MyEclipse created projects compatible with Eclipse?

I’m having the reverse problem. I used MyEclipse 7.0 to create a Web project and link it to a Java project. Why? Because it can.

As I understand/understood it, MyEclipse set up a deployment plug-in that enables you to deploy to a Tomcat server in one click.

But when I go into Eclipse, this no longer works. In fact, it doesn’t recognize a MyEclipse created project as an Eclipse project. I set up a Tomcat instance and go to deploy the Web project and it doesn’t even know it’s a Web project.

Why not?

Please note: *Many integration projects use standard IDEs today, including Eclipse. I thought MyEclipse was still compatible with them. Eclipse is in competition with NetBeans, JDevelper, and other IDEs.

So.. once you create a Web project – it’s a Web project! Is this no longer true?

I re-subscribed to MyEclipse because it has these advanced abilities – but now I can’t seem to use them in Eclipse 3.4?

So again: Question: Is MyEclipse and what it creates compatible with Eclipse? If not, I’m not going to be able to use it anymore. Since the cost of a MyEclipse subscription is going up, can’t it produce compatible projects?

Java projects are, Java-Maven and any other (Web, Web Service, EAR and EJB) are not.

Right — so far so good..

As I understand/understood it, MyEclipse set up a deployment plug-in that enables you to deploy to a Tomcat server in one click.

Sure, you can deploy to any server in one click, we happen to ship the “MyEclipse Tomcat” server out of the box, pre-configured so it’s super-easy.

But when I go into Eclipse, this no longer works. In fact, it doesn’t recognize a MyEclipse created project as an Eclipse project. I set up a Tomcat instance and go to deploy the Web project and it doesn’t even know it’s a Web project.

Why not?

Because Eclipse WTP does not recognize MyEclipse Web Projects as Web Projects.

So.. once you create a Web project – it’s a Web project! Is this no longer true?

Ever single IDE lays out projects differently and handles project-metadata differently. There is no true universal project format, no true universal concept of a “Web project” — we follow the industry standard of an “exploded WAR” format, but not all IDEs do… and then you take a look at Maven, and it follows again a completely different format.

So again: Question: Is MyEclipse and what it creates compatible with Eclipse? If not, I’m not going to be able to use it anymore. Since the cost of a MyEclipse subscription is going up, can’t it produce compatible projects?

No they are not compatible.
