I know about the export->war file
I would like something similar to the .jardesc that allows you to define the destination. So I could right-click on that .jardesc and do export. Except .wardesc instead of .jardesc 🙂
Is the war export functionality tied to an eclipse ant task?
I’ve put together an AHK macro so it will do the GUI motions for me… but that’s a hack not a solution.
Eclipse has the notion of external commands. If you can write e.g. an ant script that does the export the way you like it you can start it from the menu/button. For ant scripts you can also pick the ant target you want to call and pass properties. This allows you to edit e.g. the path name in the Launch Configuration.
