Hi Marshall, Sorry, but in case we try to build an Aggregate AE including some remote machines with the Eclipse plugin, the user gets a strong and annoying problem: The eclipse plugin gives an error message and lets the user to choose between 2 (not clear) steps: - revert to last valid: we do not know what that means and what happens to the file. - Edit Existing: we enter an annoying situation in which editing other tabs becomes impossible...
I apologieze: my last post was not clear: I spoke about the Eclipse Plugin specifically.

However, the CDE is designed to operate, even if the remote is not running. In that case, it may give some warnings - saying that it can't read the remote's type system, so that if the remote is declaring some types that are not declared elsewhere, then the JCasGen that might be run might be "incomplete". These are all "warnings" - the CDE will still let you build the aggregate, and save it. -Marshall > > > -- Michael > > Benjamin Sznajder wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I am trying to build a an Aggregate AE with some AEs running in remote. >> When we are building the descriptor for the Aggregate AEs, we can add a >> remoteAE if and only if, the AE is already deployed on the remote >> machine. >> It would be useful if we could add these AEs although if they are not >> currently deployed. >> >> Benjamin. >> >> >> >> > > >
