Would it be possible to divorce the tag library part of a project from the web part? Here’s what I mean.

I have a few web projects that will require a tag library I want to write. Also, I want to test the library with TagUnit. If I create an ordinary Java project for the tag library, I won’t have the XDoclet integration available to me. If I create a MyEclipse Web Project, I get the entire WebRoot structure attached to it, and everything gets generated to it. I’d just like to create a jar file and tld file:

src/
    com.erjablow.taglibs.example
         ExampleTag
         ExampleTEI
bin/ 
    com.erjablow.taglibs.example
         ExampleTag.class
         ExampleTEI.class
dist/
    example.jar
    example.tld

I’m not sure how one does this without creating a web project and picking it apart. Adding a TagUnit support plugin might be good too.

Sure, you did exactly the right thing. Just use a plain Java Project.

Yes, it’s still there. Just look under Project Properties > MyEclipse > XDoclet. You should be all set.

You’re right. I just had to look further, and when I set up the XDoclet configuration, I needed to enter the fileset entries appropriately. A MyEclipse Web project would have filled them in automatically, so I needed to reproduce that.

Sorry for wasting your time.
