    Eclipse Plugin for Hotdeployment

    rsoika

      Hi,

      some days ago I updated my Eclipse Plugin 'manik-hot-deploy'. This Plugin provides an easy way for autodeploy and hotdeployment from a maven based JEE project into WildFly. First the plugin was only supporting the autodeploy functionality from GlassFish. But now I extended the functionality so the plugin can now deploy an unpacked version of a Maven EAR or WAR artifact which enables the hotdeploy (incremental deploy) feature of WildFly.

      The sources are hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/rsoika/manik-hot-deploy/wiki

      To install the Plugin in your Eclipse IDE see the installation guide : https://github.com/rsoika/manik-hot-deploy/wiki/Installation

          Cool - may I ask if/what this does different than the incremental and full deployment the existing JBoss Tools Server Adapter does ?

            Maybe it does nothing particularly. But if you are working with various application servers you can use it for deployment on different servers. So this was one of my goals. It is independent from the server platform.

            Next I am thinking to move the deployment logic directly into a maven plugin.

              Okey, i'm just wondering if you are bumping into issues.

               

              You write on your eclipse plugin page that using WTP does not work with incremental deployment and afaik it does work thus i'm wondering what issues you've seen ? Was it just because the server adapter you used only deploy complete archives ?

               

              btw. fyi - in jboss tools we provide deploy only server which supports incremental deployment to any directory for any server that just looks for file changes.

                Yes my problem was the incremental deploament. That was the reason why I started the plugin.

                  okey but was this with pure WTP or with JBoss Tools you had problems ? JBoss Tools provides this so i'm just wondering what issues yo have.
