Hello,

Here is what you should do:
1) Install a tomcat server on the same machine you are developping
your web application
2) Install the eclipse tomcat plugin
(http://www.eclipsetotale.com/tomcatPlugin.html)

Here, you should be able to create a tomcat project from Eclipse, and
to start/stop the server from Eclipse.
The important thing to understand is that your context is linked to
the eclipse project: you can work on your tomcat project and check the
results with your web browser WITHOUT having to re-start or re-deploy
your web application every time you are doing modifications.

3) Work with the qooxdoo  'source', not with the 'build'.
You dont need to re-compile qooxdoo everytime you are doing changes !!
The 'source' version of your application is a javascript script that
will load all the classes involved in your project.
This mean that you need to re-compile qooxdoo (make source) everytime
you add a new class : and that's all !

To summarize:
* Your firsrt 3 steps are not necessary : use tomcat eclipse and
qooxdoo 'source'
* Compared to the build version, your in-developpement application
will load a little bit slower: that's because instead of getting one
big file containing all the classes (with data compression) -- the
'build' --, your web browser will load each classes as individual
files --the 'source' -- (it means that when using 300 classes, you
will load 300 small javascript files instead of one big javascript
file) : but, you can change sources and check up the results by
reloading your web page.

I am using tomcat and qooxdoo since more than 1 year, and I am happy
with the cycle I did described.
Please let me know if you need more details on that cycle.

Hopes this will help you,

Charles.
