Subclipse vs. WebDAV support? [message #325895] Sun, 02 March 2008 00:41 Go to next message

Hello All,
I would happily accept redirection if there is a better group to post
to for this question.

I have been developing a web app using the Eclipse 3.3 JEE release,
with PDT installed by update manager, and the FTP WebDAV support plugin
installed by hand. I had to hunt around to find the WebDAV plugin from
an earlier stable build drop because it was not in the 3.3.1.1 build
page.

The WebDAV support worked just fine, and I used it to sync with the
server while I hacked around on my first PHP project. I later installed
Subclipse, and that worked, but all WebDAV support was lost. Released
the project from SVN synchronization, disabled the Subclipse plugin,
even opened a new workspace--WebDAV is not available for sync, import
or export.

As a sanity check installed a new instance of eclipse, installed PDT,
installed WebDAV, NO Subclipse, and I'm back where I started.

Can anyone tell me
a) what is the state of WebDAV support. is it completely dead?
b) how could I possibly get WebDAV and Subclipse to live together peaceably?

It appears that I am able to use these two plugins together OK.

I have a project checked out with Subclipse.

I open the view Target Management > Site Explorer. This allows me to
define WebDAV and/or FTP connections.

I can use File > Export to Synchronize my local project with the site
that I define in the Site Explorer. I have been using this with FTP,
but I just tried it with WebDAV and it worked fine.

I am using Eclipse 3.3. I installed the FTP/WebDAV plugin. I cannot
remember the version it was Eclipse 3.2 or perhaps even earlier.
Whenever it was last updated.

Thanks for the tip. It is very helpful to know that someone can use
both; this will encourage me to look deeper. I have never used the Site
Explorer view before, so that will be something else to try. I
currently have 2 Eclipse instances, one with subclipse and ftp/webdav,
and one with only ftp/webdav. In the one with both subclipse and
ftp/webdav, there is no Target Managemet->Site Explorer view available,
but there is in the one with only ftp/webdav.

If I narrow this down to something that I think is a repeatable bug,
can anyone recommend the right place to report it?

The WebDAV plug-in you are using was experimental and has never been
officially supported and there is no plan to do further work in it. The
reason for this is that Eclipse has a Target Management sub-project of
the DSDP project that is providing similar remote capabilities and has
an active community.
