Dear,

I have appr. 25 devs of various levels and we are evaluating MyEclipseIde for our Tomcat / JBoss developpements. I was wandering how I could share the configurations. Currently with some concurrent tools, we can easily share the configuration so the developpers can work in parallel between multiple versions : Version X.Y.Z & Version X.Y+1.0 & Version X.Y.Z+1

Any hint into how to do that with MyEclipseIDE would be appreciated … !

We use Subversion as versionning tool !

You can try with subversion plugin for eclipse http://subclipse.tigris.org/, but it is unsupported with MyEclipse

Thomas,

What snpe means is you can use the subclipse plugin mentioned above for Subversion support inside Eclipse, but MyEclipse does not bundle a subversion tool. There are no compatability problems and the two will work side by side without issue.

Could you elaborate a little more what you mean by “sharing the configuration”? What configuration are you talking about exactly? I’m afraid I’m a little confused, are you talking about MyEclipse preferences or code or something else?

We’ll do our best to help you out,
Best,
Brian.

No the point is not subversion (which works fine).

The point is really to make sure the various configurations are shared in a smooth way. Typically, people should have the TOMCAT server.xml located somewhere like :

/Project/<OurProject>/<version>/config/tomcat/server.xml

So with a concurrent tool, I was used to commit in subversion the start up parameter as new branch is created with the right location :

-config "/Project/MyProject/DEV_V0007.09.00/config/Tomcat/server.xml" 

with similar parameter for the VM

-Djava.security.auth.login.config="/Projects/MyProject/DEV_V0007.09.00/config/security/jaas.config"

AMOF I have little clues where exactly the parameters are stored.
The same question arises with the workspace parameters… :
How can I share them accross developpers … ?

Tx,

Thomas,
The example you gave above about sharing is outside the realm of MyEclipse (sharing a specific context config file), also when you asked about the workspace parameters, do you mean the startup parameters that you use on the command line to start MyEclipse? These can be all entered in your eclipse.ini file in your Eclipse dir and shared if that is suitable, but there is not direct support for sharing those settings inside of Eclipse.
