I posted this question in web development but probably it makes sense to do it here, since is multiple J2EE projects.

we have one single source folder (java code), and multiple webroot folders.

so each project in the IDE will be a copy of the same src folder , a webroot , and a set of libraries.

I do not want to have a copy of the src folder for each project.
I have tried using the “link source” option, but that slowed to a crawl the IDE.

What do you recommend?

Move the Java source into a separate utility project and make that a dependency of your web projects.

I did that, but when I deploy the project to tomcat using myeclipe, it does not copy the classes over

any Idea what I am doing wrong?

anrange,

Can you go to the Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Java Enterprise Project > Web Project and check the Deployment tab? You should have smart deployment selected and the “Jars exported from dependent Java projects” selected.
