As evidenced in these forums, this seems to be a common issue of which I did not see any advice or workarounds that would work for me. Here’s my issue:

I have Web Project A needing to include the classes from Web Project B. I would like to have MyEclipse smart deploy Web Project B’s classes into the WEB-INF/classes dir of Web Project A. Evidently this is only possible if Web Project B is a “Java” project.

Has anyone come up with a workaround for this that does not involve restructuring the project to an EAR? I’m using Tomcat and I prefer to work with WARs, not EARs.

If there is no decent workaround, I would like to request this to be added as a feature. It seems many people are trying to do this.

thanks,
Ben

Ben,
You are correct that out of the box MyEclipse won’t merge Web Projects together to create a single deployment. We always encourage folks to abstract-out common classes into a utlity Java Project that the two web projects share and MyEclipse will package and deploy those classes appropriately for each Web Project.
