Hi. I'm currently using Eclipse platform 3.4.1. Otherwise, Maven also allows the generation of WAR file and its deployment on a web server with Maven's Tomcat plugin for instance. But I think Maven (or Eclipse) need information in pom.xml or other configuration file about the way to deploy efficiently the application into the webserver so that when deploying, I just have to go to /path URL defined in my program to access services or ressources (like customers in the given example).
Tell me if I'm wrong. Raphael. 2009/5/5 Ron Grimes <[email protected]>: > From reading the posts on this forum, it seems everyone uses Maven.
