Hi All,
I discovered that I have a need to build and execute an older CVS version of our current Eclipse/MyEclipse project that we created a branch for. In Eclipse, this branch has been created as a different project. In the previous Tomcat Eclipse plugin we had, we could simply specify the source code that would be executed and allowed to be debugged via a preferences setting. I have looked around in the MyEclipse preferences and see nothing similar. How would I go about doing such a thing?

John,
As I understand your question you need to check the old branch back out from CVS as a new project (e.g. MyProject-OLD) and you want to deploy/run this on Tomcat right? You can accomplish this by simply setting a deployment for this new project, it will be treated like a different project and deployed to Tomcat (even if its ontop of the ‘newer’ one).Will I be able to debug the “old” branch code as I do for the current project?
I was temporarily able to get around this by closing my existing project, opening the “branch” project and then execute Tomcat. I already had a Tomcat context defined for it, but I wanted to ensure I was executing the correct application code. Perhaps what I am missing here is the whole “deployment” aspect of our project in MyEclipse. I don’t think we have done that, or at least in the way suggested. I will look into that further.Yes you will be able to debug both apps, but it is a good idea to close the one you are not using as the source locater looks into ALL open projects when stopping at breakpoints and such, so having two almost identical projects open at the same time might confuse it.
So, what I did was really the best way to do it anyways. Ok, I can pass that along to the other developers, thanks.
