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 !
