Hi,
We use Maven to build and deploy our application on our development server and for integration and production builds. However, in the development environment we use MyEclipse to hot deploy the application to an application server on the developers machine. This allows us to debug on the fly and is a very important consideration for us. We package our application as an EAR file, containing several WAR files. The dependencies of the WAR files (their JARs) are primarily packaged in root of the EAR file (the "WEB-INF\lib" directory of the WAR files are generally empty). Maven handles this very well and allows us to automatically generate WAR manifset files (there does seem to be a bug however - if we rename our jar files there is no corresponding effect on generated Manifest classpath entries...) Our problem comes when trying to mimick this packaging structure using MyEclipse. The tool is just not flexible enough and also seems to include a host of bugs. So, my question is... Can anyone reccomend a solution to my problem ? I think that this would most likely be a suggestion of a replacement for MyEclipse. I've taken a look at WTP and JBossIDE and both of these solutions might just be OK for my needs... ???? I would be cery grateful for any suggestions and opinions ! Of course, if I could just use Maven for both builds that would be perfect. However, I would loose the hot deployment which is very important to us. Thanks !
