Eclipse Webtools servers.xml file [message #233341] Tue, 07 July 2009 00:26 Go to next message

I am using Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede SR2) with Eclipse Webtools 3.0.4

When I add a server (File --> New --> Server), the new server is added
to the servers.xml file.

The servers.xml file is located in
$WORKSPACE/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core

Since the servers.xml file is treated as workspace metadata, I don't
have an easy way to store the file in version control.

Is there a way to store servers.xml in an Eclipse project (in the
Servers project?) and store the file under version control?

Thanks in advance.

If you look in your Workspace in the Project Explorer, you should see a
Servers project. You should be able to share that project as it
contains the server.xml file that is copied during deployment to the
location you mentioned in your .metadata hidden folder.

Right-click on the server in the Servers view and select Properties. In
the dialog that appears, click Switch Location. This will move the
definition of that server to a file under the Servers project in your
workspace.

Cheers,
Larry
