Right now I install the sysdeo plugin along side ME so I have a single button to click to restart Tomcat while I’m developing. I would need this plugin at all if ME provided this functionality, and here was a thought I had on how it would work:
Right now to start/stop the app server, you click the server button arrow, and it drops down a list, to select the app server then you choose Start/Stop. I’m wondering if you can make this control a combination of a combobox (app server list) and then a combo button/dropdown button next to it. The button, when clicked would perform a restart, OR do the opposite of what it did last time (toggle) and the drop down arrow next to it would give you the options of “Start/Stop”. So it would look something like this:
[ Tomcat 5.0 ][v] [GO][v] |Tomcat 4.1 | |Start| |Tomcat 4.0 | |Stop| ---------------- -------Even though that is the best ASCII art I’ve ever done in my life, the idea is that the first control is a combo box, and the second control is that Button/Dropdown combo that Eclipse likes to use. The things below them are the dropped down menus 🙂
OR, just add another button that looks like a recycle sign that restarts the server…

The EASIE plugins used to do exactly this, but with 20 server connectors obviously this could cause a lot of clutter in the UI. Maybe if we could have an additional preference option to add the toolbar buttons it would work.

MyEclipse SupportIf this is the case (5+ server connectors) would the dropdown menu make more sense? You select the connector you want to perform the action on, then click the action next to it?
