MyEclipse does support this. However, in my case, I may have to run one of 3 branches (source control) of the same project under the same context. With the way MyEclipse does it, it copies your project files to $tomcat/webapps/mycontext. So when I need to run a different branch, I have to deconfigure the deployment, then reconfigure for a different project in the workspace. That is just too much work, and it often fails but you don't know it until you are running the app......argh!!! I decided after a few weeks of dealing with MyEclipse that I didn't like it as much as I thought I did. So I went back to the way used to do things. I setup Eclipse to build the project where it sits (not under tomcat), then I tell Tomcat to point to my project, and with the start script below running in a separate cygwin window, I can choose to attach when (and if) I want. My develop/compile/test turnaround time is greatly reduced from when I used MyEclipse. -- James Mitchell Software Engineer / Open Source Evangelist EdgeTech, Inc. 678.910.8017 AIM: jmitchtx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tuncay Baskan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 4:41 AM Subject: Re: Tomcat 5 & Struts > On Mon, 18 Oct 2004 10:43:44 -0400, James Mitchell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ... > > Personally, I prefer Eclipse.
