I am using Sysdeo with Tomcat but moved to MyEclipse primarily so I can debug JSPs in non-J2EE projects. Sysdeo, by default, assumes that the project root is the webroot. But when I tried to add WebProject capability to the project, the wizard wouldn’t let me set the project root as the web root.

Since these projects are already checked into the CVS and are being used by several folks using either Eclipse or NetBeans, I can’t just change the project layout. I tried creating a new MyEclispe WebProject to see if I could manually do what the wizard did but it wasn’t obvious how I could do that without a lot of trial and errors.

So I am interested in knowing what my options are at this point. BTW, I subscribed without using the trial version because I heard good things about MyEclispe. Now I am not sure. What I am sure about is that I think my particular needs are not unique.

Don,
We don’t currently allow the WebRoot and Project root to be the same folder. The reason for this is that traditionally our project structure was that of an exploded WAR for file, but your project could still contain source files and extra libraries, which means this: http://www.myeclipseide.com/FAQ+index-myfaq-yes-id_cat-30.html#111

However there have been a few requests in the past for the webroot and project root being the same, and I am checking on that status for you.

Don,

I’ve increased the priority of the enhancement request for this feature as it has been requested a number of times now. Just to be clear, where is the Java code for web project placed? Is it in a source folder withing the web project or is it in a standard Java project that is a dependency of the web project? The more detail you can provide on the project layout you need, the better we’ll be able to ensure that we implement the functionality that you really need.

Java source files for Sysdeo webapp projects are usually located at {project}/WEB-INF/src. – Don

donpark,
This enhancement did make it into our 3.8 GA release for you and was refined in the 3.8.1 update, I hope you have the functionality you desire now.

[donpark]

O goody. I am downloading 3.8.1 right now. Thx!
