Hi, i have developed webapps in netbeans and jbuilder and finaly myeclipse ^_^, i have noted that a “CORE” feauture is missing in myeclipse, the hotkey to run the external browser with a prebuilded URL to run jsps and servlets quickly, so when i make a change i can just press “FX” key to see the changes in the browser.

I realy dont understand how am i suposed to test having to click 6 times to get to my jsp each time i make a simple change , when just a simple hotkey would get me throught the page. =(

You can open broswer with URL and change window and click one – You haven’t start browser every times
Netbeans, for instance don’t hot sync deploy – every change in jsp deploy complete application – it is horrible

I think that is easy make toolbar icons or menu for launch browser, but it isn’t very important – without or with myeclipse (You see help menu in source code for eclipse)

vegetax,
I think snpe hinted to why you can just keep a browser open at all times, and alt-tab back to it and hit refresh. MyEclipse (when using Exploded deployment) supports hot-syncing of your changes files. Meaning as soon as you save a JSP file or Class file, MyEclipse deploys that file out to your application server IMMEDIATELY. So you can just alt-tab back to your browser and hit refresh to see the changes. You don’t need to close it, or reload it.

In the 3.x releases of MyEclipse there is support for a Browser component that you can open up in the IDE if you prefer, it may be available in Beta 1, I’m not sure, but it will be available across all platforms in Beta2.

Also keep in mind that while your changed Class files are deployed immediately, you still have to setup your application server to properly recognize and reload the classes before you can see changed behavior, but the JSP files work just fine immediately.
