IntelliJ can share JSP files smartly.
I am in the process of recreating our very large J2EE project in MyEclipse because the hot sync’ing of code is Eclipse’s killer feature. IntelliJ can do it, but not nearly as well. Everyone is impressed when I show them that changes in a development environment are applied instantly.
That said, the single stumbling block I am coming up against is the lack of ability to share JSPs.
IntelliJ handles this by allowing the user to specify dependent web projects and an import order. Project A can be dependent on Project B and Project C. JSPs are added to the build (the exploded or archived WAR) in order A, B, C where the prior projects have the opportunity to write first. This applies to all web resources, including tag libraries.
IntelliJ is very expensive and is not nearly as slick as Eclipse’s hot swapping, so I will figure out a way around this issue (possibly a custom Ant task hooked in via a builder?).
It would be nice to have this feature native to the IDE.
We’ve had this request from time to time (4x in 2 years) and the use cases are always good examples of why it would be handy, but it’s never had a high enough demand for management to sideline other highly requested items in order to address it.
I’ll add your use case to our notes though, it’s possible our product manager might read through them and say “Hey, that’s a good point,let’s add that”.
Thank you for the feedback.

I would suggest that not all of the demand shows up in requests. I know that I, personally, have pointed several people to the message saying this feature was planned for version 5.

Ok after talking with some devs this type of idea will likely be supported in 5.0 (late August-ish timeframe)I’ve been severely disappointed in Genuitec that this feature has been ignored.
qdinwiddie,
Please point me to the thread where this was specifically promissed for 5.0, I don’t ever remember management agreeing to address it and if that thread says otherwise I can certainly bring that up in our product meeting and put some feet to the fire and see if it can get addressed.Did you not see the quote in my message? And I didn’t say “promised,” but “planned.” The quote actually says “likely supported,” though I now notice this was posted on April Fool’s Day of last year. Perhaps it was all a joke.
Did you not see the quote in my message?

I was looking for the URL for the thread where I typed that… had I hit “Back” I would have noticed it was this thread… oh boy.
You can add my vote for this feature — I was trolling the forum today in hopes that I was just doing something wrong… You can make one Web App dependent on another, but it doesn’t tell you anywhere that it won’t get deployed.
The linking feature is pretty brain dead — only link at a top level folder? what use is that when everything is under either src or WebRoot in both projects. You can’t link when using the recommended Web App directory structure.
