What is best way in Eclipse/MyEclipse to create web module that would include web, struts support, and our own specific jars and resources to serve as a boilerplate webapp that our developers can start development from?
We would like a new project wizard that can walk users though the creation steps, similar to what ME currently provide for J2EE/Web Module project. The automation would reduce the # of manual steps and creates the appropriate structure that would meet our development, build/release and deployment standards. Would it make sense to call the ME’s code to create the Web Module and to add Struts support, etc… and also insert our resource-specific elements into the resulting project? Or is it better to programmatically import an exploded structure from the filesystem, CVS, etc… and tweaking the setting afterward? It would be great to extend from ME’s wizard UI and add only our additional resources so we don’t reinvent the wheel.
Sorry if this is not in the right forum. It’s not a ME usage but I don’t know where else to post it. Please move it as necessary. Thanks.
I think the best thing for your team to do is have your project manager create the boilerplate project himself from ME, then File > Export the project to a Zip file, this can then be sent out to anyone that needs it and they can File > Import it and all the settings will get picked up for them.
We currently don’t offer extension points to our wizards, but if a big enough company with a big enough contract wanted it, we would certainly look into meeting those demands as it would require shifting around of some resources right now. Let me know if this helped answer your question.
