Incremental deplyoment for Glassfish Server

One of the most frustrating things of Eclipse is the poor support for Maven JEE projects by the Web Tools Plattform (WTP). Especially the  incremental deployment, which is a cool feature of Glassfish Server is not supported by wtp. This was the reason why I started a new project with a small Eclipse Plugin to speedup maven based development of JEE apps in Eclipse:

See the manik-hot-deploy project site: http://code.google.com/p/manik-hot-deploy/ 

If you have any comments ore suggestions about this plugin let me know!

Hi Ralph, Just downloaded your plugin as it looks very interesting. I am facing the problem of having multi-module maven projects and currently only have hot deployment via Maven, but am very keen on getting incremental hot deployment. However, I installed the plugin in Eclipse Galileo, using JBoss 6 and Maven 2 (also m2eclipse plugin), and the Makin plugin does not seem to work for me. First, I try to enable the modules via contextual menu, but is hard to say whether a module is enabled. Second, when I try to deploy the web module, or change some files (e.g. Web Service classes), nothing happens. Am I using the right versions of Eclipse, Maven, etc here? Any advise is very welcome. G.

To enable incremental deplyoment you need first to deploy your war or ear to your server. Then you can point to the directory where your app was installed on jboss. The autodeploy folder from jboss is something like jboss/server/myserver/deploy/ But I am not sure if incremental deployment from a EAR is supported by jboss. It seems to work only for war files
