Eclipse Community ForumsAdding Generic/Custom Server Runtime support to my plugin
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/68500/214801/#msg_214801
particular, I'm trying to add Server runtime support to our application
server. For a quick screencast of the functionality, please see here: http://www.infrared5.com/2008-05-31_1618.swf
Here is some information about my plugin. The Server runtime is
configured using the generic server definition which uses a server
definition file and an Ant build file. I'm not sure if I've chosen the
correct implementation. I think that I might have been better off using a
custom server runtime. However I understand that it requires more effort
which I'm willing to do if I can't fulfill all of the plugin requirements.
Requirements:
* deploy and run the application
* debug the application (like Tomcat, etc...)
* start and stop the server
What I have working currently:
* deploy and run the application
* start and stop the server
I have a few questions:
1. Is this the correct list to post these questions to?
2. Can a generic server have debug support, by clicking "debug on
server"?
3. The application server does have "Remote Java Application" debug
support using jdwp. Is this how the other server runtimes debug their
applications (servers like tomcat, etc...)
4. Where can I find the source for the Tomcat server plugin source
code? I've seen the glassfish source, but haven't looked too much into it
yet.
5. Is there any place where I can find more information on custom
server runtime plugin development? I've checked a lot of resources but it
seems many just talk about the generic server definition support like I
currently have.
Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. I look forward to
any tips/pointers etc.. that may help me add debugging support to my
plugin.]]>Dominick Accattato2008-06-03T20:18:06-00:00Re: Adding Generic/Custom Server Runtime support to my plugin

The plug-ins for the Tomcat support are
org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.core and org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.ui.
If you have the WTP SDK, you can import plug-in projects with source
to see the code. From CVS, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CVS_Howto on how to grab the plug-ins.
There are top level aliases declared for most, if not all, the WTP
plug-ins in the WTP repository (i.e. "/cvsroot/webtools"), including the
Tomcat ones.
Cheers,
Larry
