Yikes Anna... you wouldn't say that if you had an application containing several hundred classes, libraries, etc! Using a tool like ANT for example is much quicker, cleaner and based on the build script will turn out consistent results each time during the development life cycle. ...manually building a WAR, shudder, I get get cold swets just thinking of it! -----Original Message----- From: program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-java-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Anna Giller Sent: Friday, 23 January 2009 3:22 AM To: program-java@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-java] Re: Glass Fish...

Anna: I use WebLogic as my server and due to my ANT configuration I don't have to use Eclipse to compile.... I just run a build.cmd file that I created which for all intentional purposes is just a batch file. With in said batch I run the Ant build with several parameters and then copy said file to my deployment folder with in WL via the post.bat at the end of my ant.bat. So to answer you, no Eclipse doesn't move my file by default. . Here's an example: ...this is the FZFR.cmd file contents.... c: cd c:\fzfr\FZFR\I* CMD /c c:\fzfr\FZFR\Implementation\Build.cmd build And here is the contents of my build.cmd file ::: ::: Build project using Ant ::: ::: @rem Set Ant related Environment Variables @call ./setenv.cmd :: @rem Execute the Ant build @call %ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat -version @call %ANT_HOME%\bin\ant.bat %1 :: @pause And finally my ant.bat file @echo off REM Copyright 2001,2004 The Apache Software Foundation REM REM Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); REM you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
