Project Build time is too long [message #661717]

Hi,

I've been building a java application and I've now split it of into several 'Modules' but I'm having difficulty getting this to work in Eclipse. I was hoping that including the common project in the required projects section would include the class files and lib files (if exported) into the implementation projects build.

When I run the file in Tomcat 6/7 then these files are not copied across. The project in eclipse though seems to resolve everything and no errors are shown, it's only when I try to run the project that this issue occurs.

I've temporarily gotten around the issue by using link source. Often eclipse will build workspace and this will take 2 minutes or more even on my quad core laptop with SSD drive. I'm wondering if myabe this is due to link sourcing? There must be something amiss though as I would have thought this is way to long for a project of this size. The lib files do add up to 100MB though but before when the project wasn't modular this build workspace time wasn't an issue at all.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to reduce the build workspace time and properly configured these projects to work when I run in Tomcat without using the link source which I'm guessing is a bit of a hack?

Many thanks,

Anthony.

This question belongs in the eclipse webtools forum, but I will answer
it. You must indicate the projects to be deployed in the Deployment
Assembly. Right-click your project, choose Properties -> Deployment
Assembly -> Add -> Project -> etc. just as if a third-party library.

As for time to build, I couldn't conjecture.

Hi Russell, thanks for letting me know the right forum and the answer, it's not had the impact on the build workspace times but at least I'm one step closer on how to write module programs in eclipse.
