Hi all, I am an experienced .NET developer but new to JAVA and Eclipse. I am currently experimenting with JAVA and the GAE with plans to start making more use of the GAE since I really like what is offered (Google keep up the good work ;)).
However I am running into a problem, I would like to build an application using multiple layers (currently a Presentation layer, Service layer, Business layer and a Data layer). My presentation layer is a GAE project created using the Eclipse plug-in, the other layers are all normal JAVA projects I created in the same workspace (so I have 4 separate projects). Now I managed to get everything compile correctly by referencing all projects with each other using the Java Build Path -> Projects dialog window. However when I run the application I run into the problem that the Presentation layer cannot find the classed from my Service layer project. I figured out that I need to manually copy the output classes from the Service (and others) layer into the WEB-INF/lib folder to get it working (preferably packed into a JAR file). My question is, can this be somehow automated? I read some information about using an ANT script to do so, but since I am a bit spoiled with Visual Studio (who does this automatically when I make the reference) I have no clue on how to start, I don't even know how to automatically pack the class files from the Service, Business and Data layers into a JAR file. Is there someone who can get me started? Many thanks, Maurits
