Hi all Does anybody else find this hellishly confusing? It makes me want to throw everything out and go back to a nice simple DOS system and a Turbo C compiler! How much simpler it was back then...
Okay, I downloaded the latest Eclipse system, copied my project into a fresh workspace. Saving a file was back to a sub-second response. Actually I tried saving a second file to make sure it wasn't a fluke the first time. There was definitely a problem somewhere and it has now gone away. Okay, now the second part of the problem. Tomcat or Jetty??? I don't want to package every time I make a small change to a config file or HTML, so I want the servlet engine to use my files from my development area. My previous frustrations with restarting tomcat have encouraged me down the Jetty track - I downloaded Jetty 6 yesterday and the test system was working in about 5 minutes, pretty good. I then added a context.xml for my application and now when I start Jetty it simple crashes and refuses to start the application. I get an error like: 'No class for Servlet or Filter' I haven't been able to find any help on this error. I did find information on a Jetty-Maven-Plugin but form my reading this is all about packaging the application - I don't want to go there. I also found a number of recent comments about Maven2 saying it was still quite buggy. Do I press ahead trying to solve the Jetty stuff or do I revert back to a Tomcat system....??? I'm developing in a Windows XP environment so this may limit me from some of the options suggested here. PS Thanks to everybody who has contributed so far - I really appreciate your ideas and suggestions. You really are a very friendly bunch of people. PPS My computer is an Intel 2.8ghz processor with 1gb ram and 80gb harddrive. It's not slow with other stuff. Cheers Murray Some of my understandings: Sysdeo-tomcat-plugin - packages app and restarts Tomcat WTP - packages app and restarts Tomcat Web Standard Tools - I was using this AJDT - never used it Jetty6 plugin - is this the Jetty-maven-plugin referred above of different? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
