Hi,

Is there anyway to deploy only the files that have changed since a specific date? Or can it check a previous installation and determine the delta from the existing code base?

Thanks

No there isn’t support for filtering deployed results by any criteria. Although if you use an exploded deployment, your files are deployed when you save them so that avoids hugely-long deploys of big projects.

I code on the development machine, and when a new release is ready, we move it to production. Things have been moving so fast lately, that we’ve been doing a deployment to production every second day. So your suggestion wouldn’t work in this environment, where the production server is external to my development environment.

I guess I would have to develop a custom ANT build script that would work with CVS, and take myeclipse out of the equation.

marsrc,
We always intended the deployment tool as a development facility as every project’s actual act of deployment is different depending on the app servers, server setups, etc. I’m sorry the deployer wasn’t flexible enough to use in your environment but in this case a custom Ant script might be a better idea.
