Here’s my thinking …
1. I want to make one project for a community thing – lets say its “friends”. But under that I may have a chat room, blogs, announcements, suggestion board, sign ups for projects, etc … on and on…
2. If I do this all under one single Struts project the UML diagram would become terribly complex and unwieldy so it would be nice to treat each section as a sub project as in the pages for blogs URL might be “/friends/blogs”.
Make sense?
Can we do that with MyEclipse?
There is no such thing as sub-web projects, however if you were deploying to a full J2EE server (JBoss for example) that supported EARs, you could simply create 1 EAR that contained all those 6 or so Web Projects as modules. Then each portion of your site is a spearate Web Module. This is more on par with how large-scale development works for these huge “portal” sites, like you are describing. Also by keeping this organization it wouldn’t cost you anything to move to another IDE, where as if you invented your own sub-project layout you might run into issues if you had other developers using other IDEs (in which case we would suggest a workaround of using MyEclipse 😉
