Hi,
Maybe I don’t understand all the options but this is what I would like to have :-
1. A snapshot facility (after a sucessful build/test) so that you can not only re-open your work files but also have the exactly the same “expanded” directories that you have in the currect workspace (or alternatively when you exit the same is applied).
2. For Tomcat – the IDE should be able to pick up the MEmory and port of the invoked (normally local) tomcat instance as default – unless specified in the IDE.
3. The “real” flexability to rename/refactor projects – without having to “play around” with files (outside of the IDE envoronment), or alternatively the ability to do this by selecting a project from a “saved/backed up” workspace.
4. Proper support fo imprting WAR files (i.e you can specify the WebRoot before you run the import).
Thx

I don’t quite follow what you are asking here. Are you asking for a code snapshot (like a branch in CVS) or are you asking for an entire state snapshot of your workspace, with UI state and everything, that you can refer to as a specific BUILD ID?
2. For Tomcat – the IDE should be able to pick up the MEmory and port of the invoked (normally local) tomcat instance as default – unless specified in the IDE.
Again, I don’t understand this. When MyEclipse launches Tomcat it does this for you by connecting the debugger to the correct port. If you launch Tomcat externally, you need to attach the debugger to it. Then again, you didn’t mention debugging anywhere, so I just assumed that is what you meant. Please clarify what “picking up the memory and port” means.
3. The “real” flexability to rename/refactor projects – without having to “play around” with files (outside of the IDE envoronment), or alternatively the ability to do this by selecting a project from a “saved/backed up” workspace.
Again I don’t follow. If you rename your project… it’s renamed, nothing more to it. What problems did you run into?
4. Proper support fo imprting WAR files (i.e you can specify the WebRoot before you run the import).
Tricky because WAR is a binary-only deployment format, not a project format. It’s a lot like saying “I want to import an EXE into Visual Studio”… I’m sure you could do it, and we could to a certain extent, but since there is no source, when the user goes to debug and it doesn’t work, he/she won’t understand why. So we just don’t support it.
