New to MyEclipse , using 3.8.2 with Eclipse 3.0.1 & Tomcat 4.1.29 .. On the properties page of the MyEclipse project is MyEclipse-Web tag, Web Project External Libraries Deployment Policy . I currently have this set to “Always deploy external libraries … ” and I have a library pointing to a MySQL JDBC driver .. I expected this to be deployed when export to Tomcat but it isn’t & i’m deploying this jar manually .. Any reason for this or am I misunderstanding the use of this tag ? Thanks ..
Rob,
It’s likely a misconfiguration / misunderstanding of the usage. Could you give a look at the Web Development Quickstart? I believe the advanced section covers all manner of library deployments. The quickstart is included in the Help documentation within MyEclipse or is available on the website in the Documentation section here:
http://www.myeclipseide.com/images/tutorials/quickstarts/webprojects/Thanks for the quick reply .. Looked at the article above and though the screen shots are slightly different to mine I still read it the same as “Always deploy external libraries .. ” which i’ve taken to mean user libraries – is that correct ? . However I had a play around .. Originally I created a user library pointing to my single MYSQL jar driver and included that in the build path for my project .. When I deployed it the library contents WEREN’T deployed to the /lib directory of my app. I then created a classpath variable pointing to the driver and replaced the user library with this variable in the project build path . Deployed this and it works fine – correctly includes the driver in the /lib directory .. Curious .. by the way , I like the product ! Thanks again ..
The Web Project quickstart documentation uses the current MyEclipse version 3.8.3. There have been some enhancements to the webproject deployment options that is why your seeing different screenshots. If you would like to update from 3.8.2 to 3.8.3 you can use the info posted here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-5107.html
Rob,
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I misread your post and though you were using version 3.8.3, which contains a ton of additional external library configuration options over 3.8.2. It was actually one of the largest enhancement areas between the two releases. That’s why the screenshots in the documentation are different – they’re for 3.8.3. When you get a chance, you’ll probably want to upgrade as there were over 100 new features / fixes / enhancements added. Info on how to easily do that using the Update Manager is available here:
