Default "Special" folder layout for an EAR application - Migration from JBuilder - 11-05-2008, 01:02 PM

Hello to all.

We are migrating a huge legacy JBuilder project structure to Eclipse, and I have the task of "mimmicking" the old deploying structure with Eclipse. The app. server is JBoss.

First of all, our app. current deployment is an uncompressed EAR structure, like this:

miapp.ear
\Help - > uncompressed WAR structure)
\Client -> uncompressed WAR structure with JNLP files and app. Client jars
\ejb -> EJB jars
\Lib -> library jars for EJB, divided into some folders for own libs, third party libs, etc.

\****-INF


We need to maintain the same structure for easy client updating and developing (we need to debug in JBoss, and waiting for a huge EAR build is a real pain ! :-) ), and I couldn't find any option - public or "obscure" - to do the deploying as we used to do.

¿Is there any parameter for preventing the EAR/WAR builder to compress the files, and making only the structure?

¿Can I specify the deployment structure directories as above? ¿Editing the XML config files like application.xml, perhaps? ¿The builders will deploy the files in the specified folders?

Greetings from Spain, and sorry for my bad English :-P.
