Is it possible to do packaging with WTP or J2EE?
After creating a new faceted dynamic web project, we like to use WTP also to create wars, jars, and an ear in the end.
Is this possible, has somebody code examples?

What other ways can be used, if WTP is not the right tool?

Thank You!

Do you mean such as is done by Eclipse when you...

1) Right-click on your project
2) Choose Export
3) Choose and export destination like
Java -> JAR file
Java EE -> EAR file
Web -> WAR file

?

YES! How is it done via the WTP API (where are the tools located)?
I wish to use those tools without GUI.

Thank You!

I have it!

IVirtualComponent component = ComponentCore.createComponent(project);
WebComponentExportDataModelProvider provider = new WebComponentExportDataModelProvider();
IDataModel createDataModel = DataModelFactory.createDataModel(provider);
createDataModel.setStringProperty(IJ2EEComponentExportDataMo delProperties.ARCHIVE_DESTINATION, "C:/development/abc.war");
createDataModel.setBooleanProperty(IJ2EEComponentExportDataM odelProperties.OVERWRITE_EXISTING, Boolean.TRUE);
createDataModel.setStringProperty(IJ2EEComponentExportDataMo delProperties.PROJECT_NAME, "infinity");
createDataModel.setProperty(IJ2EEComponentExportDataModelPro perties.COMPONENT, component);
provider.setDataModel(createDataModel);
J2EEArtifactExportOperation defaultOperation = (J2EEArtifactExportOperation) provider.getDefaultOperation();

try
{
defaultOperation.execute(new NullProgressMonitor(), null);
}
catch (ExecutionException e)
{
}

Hi Russell,

you see, I have send in another reply how the solution looks like and it works too.

Maybe you can help me with 2 other tasks (always headless WTP)?

1st problem:
how do I deploy such a war or ear?

2nd problem:
how can I create modify app server specific deployment descriptors like jboss-web.xml (and xmi files) with WTP?
What would be the best way?

Thank You!

Barry

1) I always deploy merely by dropping the WAR file into the webapps
subdirectory, bouncing Tomcat and I'm going.

2) I don't know the answer to this question as it's not something I do.
