Hello
I have just installed MyEclipse, and it all looks very promising!
I’m running Windows XP, Tomcat 5.0.18, and Eclipse 2.1.1.
Is there any way to specify an application base directory for Tomcat (the Host ‘docBase’ attribute) which is external to the $CATALINA_HOME and which may be recognised by the MyEclipse deployment tool?
The default base directory is ‘$CATALINA_HOME/webapps’, as you know.
I would like mine to be elsewhere, if possible.
There is no option to specify this in the ‘MyEclipse-Application Servers-Tomcat 5’ preferences, and it looks like the MyEclipse deployment tool assumes that my project should be deployed in the default ‘webapps’ directory.
I hope I do not sound un-appreciative!
Just wondering if I need to change my habits 🙂
Kind regards
Harry
In the upcoming 2.8 release we plan to externalize an internal capability that will allow users to override MyEclipse’s default deployment location. This will be an advanced feature that will require users to configure their servers accordingly. We do not have any plans to automatically modify server configuration files. The background for this decision has been discuss on the forums.
