Hi!
In a (web app) project we have this line in the project.properties file:
something=F:/work/eclipseWS/ws1/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclip se.wst.server.core/tmp0/webapps/
That is obviously not a good thing. Is there some variable we could use?
A variable that point to the tomcat webapp directory?
We use Eclipse 3.5.0 and Tomcat 6.0 (configured as server in Eclipse).
Thanks,
David
PS: We inherited this project from others, so don't blame us ;-)

... I think it is used in a maven "script", that is a maven XML file.
(I will give more accurate info on monday)

I'm not aware of the WTP Tomcat support making something like this
available within the Eclipse environment. You may have to look in the
maven support to see if they provide a way of defining substitution
variables. Not knowing much about the maven support, I don't know if
substitution variables defined within Eclipse would be visible when
maven runs.
Also, copying files to the "webapps" folder suggests that maven's
support for Tomcat is independent of WTP's built-in support for Tomcat,
which publishes to a "wtpwebapps" folder. I can't predict how well they
will work together.
You do have the option of setting the "catalina.base" directory to
something less "internal" than
".metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/tmp0". Remove any
projects from the server and publish the server. Then double-click the
Tomcat server in the Servers view to open the server editor. Select
"Use custom location" in the Server Locations section, and specify
something suitable for "Server path".
Cheers,
Larry

Thanks.
But closer inspection reveals that this might be no necessary at all.
It is used to copy the webapp war file to the tomcat webapps dir, but
eclipse takes care if deployment automatically.
But I am new on the project, maybe this is needed anyway ...
