We have a Dynamic Web Project that has over 20 dependent projects we load into our workspace. We deploy this project to Weblogic as an exploded deploy for local development. This has worked great since we started using MyEclipse in 2006 for this large project that has over 10,000 files.

I want to do the same type of deployment which was called a “smart deployment” in versions prior to 2013. I setup my project in 2013 and used the Deployment Assembly tool to specify my dependent projects and it does deploy O.K., BUT the dependent projects are deployed as Jar files instead of adding their class files to the WEB-INF/classes folder. Unfortunately, even though the project deploys it does not function properly due to the way our application was developed and expecting all the dependent projects classes in WEB-INF/classes folder. I read the new Deployment is supposed to be more flexible, so I assume there is a way to specify the dependent projects auto deploy as classes rather than jars, but I’ve not found it. Can someone please provide the answer to how we match the same “Smart Deploy” feature in MyEclipse 2013. I’d really hate having to introduce a completely different deployment process to our application, just because our IDE can’t support it anymore. I’m hoping that’s not the case though.

Thanks,
Smitty

Smitty,

In the Deployment Assembly page, there is Merged deployment of modules section. Expand it and make sure both the checkboxes are checked.Hit ‘Apply’ and redeploy the project.

Here is a screenshot for your reference :

Let us know how it works for you.
