Handling Tomcat in Eclipse: make it as easy as MyEclipse? -

I have been using MyEclipse for many years. I am coming to the conclusion that I have to degrade myclipus and plain old Want to return to the eclipse, except for for an expansion: Tomcat integration of MyEclipse does anyone detect an eclipse plugin that will provide such integration?

Here's what my current MyClip Setup is, which I would like to preserve:

1. Copy of the integrated tomake with my own external (the version I chose)
   • Start and stop external server from within IDE.
   • Takes care of Tomcat's workpace according to the project's buildpost.
   • This project is applied to that external copy (class, library, resource and all).
   • Hot updates of modified JSP and classes

Actually, I ant for most purposes, as long as I play inside the IDE.

With Eclipse, I know that I can achieve 1 and 2. What about the other steps?

MyEclipse collision with SpringID

The JSP and CSS editors of MyEclipse are a pain ...

< P> Re 3: Eclipse (especially Web tool platform feature) can build build paths from libraries in your tomcat installation + Libraries stored in Web-INF / Lib Optionally, you can set that "J2EE Which library are visible in the Tomcat via "module dependency" section.

Again 4: Yes

Again 5: Yes

The default JSP / CSS editor is similar in WTP, like MyEclipse I think.

WTP supports various methods of deployment. It can be deployed in your existing installation, or it can create a new Tomcat server locally (depending on your current settings, and using existing temporal installation), and deploy it there ... Your Development Portal Completely Apart from this, you can create multiple servers in your talket (I use it when working with different branches of the same project Can and do), and you start at any time.
