I have two projects, a “core” project and a customer specific web project. The web project depends on core. Core has several default configuration files with it, such as properties and XML files, located in the src directory inside the core project.

For the web project I need to override a few of those files. I created files with the same names located in the web project’s src directory. When I do a deploy to Tomcat, the core project’s properties files get deployed, rather than the web project’s properties files. I tried changing the order of the projects in the Order and Export tab with no luck.

Is it possible to tell MyEclipse to simply deploy the project’s properties files over the dependent project’s files? No weird precedence rules. Just a global overwrite.

Thanks,

Rob

Rob,
There is currently no way to change this behavior, the deployment tool’s export order is App -> Dependencies. I will however file an enhancement to possibly allow this to be adjusted in a future release; sorry for the trouble.
