Hi,

I am currently working on a Java EE project. I have successfully developed a web service and deployed it under the build-in Apache server of Eclipse, for test purpose.

I have now split my project into 2 projects : A master one and a dependency one (let's say "Utils"). When developing, eclipse doesn't complain about compilation problems, since I have added the "Utils" project as a dependency in my "build path" setup.

However, when launching Tomcat (as a embedded server), it complains about not finding the classes of "Utils" project.

I was expecting eclipse to copy the "Utils/bin" into WebContent/WEb-INF/classes, but it does not. How do I automate that ? So that "Utils/bin" gets deployed into the WebFolder whenever a change occurs ?

FYI, I do not use Maven yet (but I plan to).

Thanks in advance for your help, Kind regards,

Raphael

You can do this by adding the Utils project as a module to your 'Master' project. I assume the master project is a web or ear application. Right click on the project -> properties -> Java EE module Dependencies. Add the Utils project to it. Eclipse will include the Utils project in the deployment.
