The problem is that MyEclipse doesn’t always “notice” that I changed a file, so it doesn’t copy the file to the exploded destination.
MyEclipse listens to file changes via the Eclipse notification framework, times where this is mostly a problem is when using Ant scripts to general or generally change files, you need to manually invoke a refresh after tehse operations.
What I’d like to see is an application server “view” – something like what the JBoss IDE for Eclipse has. Or even like the WebSphere Application Server server “view” for WSAD. It’s a simple view with a list of the configured servers that can be placed in a view pane. You can click a server, start / stop or even restart it. It would even be a great jumping off place for getting into each server’s configuration…

CrossTalk SolutionsI see this thread turned into a Tomcat thread and then just died. My request still stands though.
I use OC4J for development, and I love the hot sync features of Eclipse and use it all the time. When class signatures change though, you have to restart the JVM for changes to take effect. This works all fine for classes inside my Web project. There are however other projects that are beeing JARed when deployed even in an exploded deployment (EAR settings), and thus changes in these will not be picked up by a simple restart. A redeploy is needed.
I see now that through “smart deployment” on my web project I can include classes from dependent projects in the web and thus get sync on them too. The same holds I guess for EJB projects, but we would like to package them as JARs to be included in the EAR instead since they are shared between the EJB and Web projects.
So my request boils down to: A “restart last app server” button. And optionally a “stop-redeploy last deploy-start last app server” button.
Thanks,
Anders,
