Where are the application server preferences stored? I relocated some things on my PC to better organize my environment and now I have to reconfigure all my application servers (I test with quite a few so it is kind of a pain to redo all of them). I have also had need of removing all prepended and appended classes and lib paths so accessing this file would make it easier then removing 30-40 jars from the path one by one.

Thanks

Michael,

The appserver settings are stored in your preferences. To transfer the preferences, open MyEclipse that has all of the appservers configured and go to File > Export > Preferences . Then select Export All and supply a file name. Then go to the new MyEclipse installation and do a File > Import > Preferences and select the file to import the preferences. Then you should see all of the appservers configured on the new MyEclipse installation.

That is good to know for future, thanks very much. Unfortunately, I moved the directory then reattached into Eclipse, when I did, my application server preferences where gone, I was just wondering if there were some place I could find the old ones or not.

Thanks

The server preferences a’re saved as part of the workspace, not part of the application itself. If you changed workspaces, to use the preferences with a new workspace, you can export them all from your old workspace with File > Export… > Preferences and then import them into the new workspace with File > Import…

Thanks for the info. I have already deleted the old space, Oops. I now am armed with more info thanks to you though.

I appreciate your quick responses.
