Thanks Scott, I did see some improvements in the JBoss deployment with MyEclipse 6.0 as well. I’m interested in knowing how the new MyEclipse Blue handles WebSphere development - please let me know if you find out!

Hi Sean,

Some of the issues you describe as problems in working with MyEclipse and Jboss have been considerably cleaned up with the Europa 3.3.x and later distributions of Eclipse. I’ve had a chance to compare and contrast Rad7 and Europa working with WAS6 and JBoss 4.2 and found them to be pretty comparable. Deployment to JBoss is greatly improved, while some of the hand-holding provided by WSAD for Websphere goes away in RAD7, but the process is more transparent. JBoss stills starts faster and is easier to administer, and can be much easier to perform deployments in a clustered environment than WAS. Costs a little less too :-). Good post.

You can easily do this with Perl. I think there is a ‘List::Compare’ module that will do diffs between two recursive lists of files. See my latest post:

Nice post. Do you know if there’s a tool that gives you the delta in your various JBoss deployments. This would be a simple tool that scans on’e JBoss deployment (possibly multiple JBoss deployment) and compares this to a previous state or perhaps a known working state. The idea here would be to verify a JBoss deployment in an automated manner.

Anitha, I would try MyEclipse enterprise workbench for JBoss development and deployment. WSAD does not support JBoss as JBoss is a competing product to IBM’s WebSphere server.

Hey Ankit, your email bounced back. Maybe there’s a typo? Can you please send it again?
