how to configure Eclipse project

[cunparis]

Can someone using Eclipse with JBoss please explain how you configure your project? Do you use a EAR directory format? How do you tell Eclipse where to put the files? How do you send EJB classes to JBoss and servlet classes to Tomcat?

Salut,

There is a Tomcat plug-in from http://www.sysdeo.com/eclipse/tomcatPlugin.html.
For EJB, try http://www.genuitec.com/products.htm or http://www.mycgiserver.com/~objectlearn/

Bon courage

I have both these plugins installed, they start and stop the servers. But they do not address the issue of deployment, specifically partitioning code into EJB code and servlet code when the two overlap (remote interfaces could be in both sets).

No one seems to answer this question and it's quite frustrating actually. People say they've structured their code into EAR format and use hotswapping and debugging, but no one dares to say how!!

The "secret" is to use ant, http://jakarta.apache.org/ant to build your wars, ejbs and ears!

There are specific ant tasks for each kind of deployment (I think) but you can also come a long way with just using the "javac" and "jar" tasks.

The problem with ANT is that Eclipse automatically compiles your code, it's always compiled. But ANT isn't so automatic, you have to run ANT each time. What would be really cool is if code was always compiled and deployed to JBoss. I've heard people say they're doing this but no one explains how!

you may find your answer in this link

http://www.jboss.org/modules/bb/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=forums/ found that it works well if you are just changing logic in some code but gets a bit messy when you need to change signitures or deploy new classes
