MyEclipse and making an EAR file

Question

I made an enterprise application in MyEclipse, and it made three projects. The application name is Foo, and MyEclipse made these three projects: Foo, FooWeb, and FooEJB. I am able to deploy Foo in MyEclipse's server (which I set up as Glassfish), and when I expand the application in the server view in MyEclipse, I see the web and EJB modules.

Now I'd like to deploy to another Glassfish server, so I'd like MyEclipse to make an EAR file. Then when I have the EAR file, I'm assuming that there is a place to copy it to in the Glassfish directory.

At this point, any help in telling me if MyEclipse is able to make an EAR file from these three projects?

Answer 1

Yes, there is a way to do this. When you go to deploy the application, instead of choosing the glassfish server that you use for development you will need to add a deployment. Choose the option that allows you to save it to the file system, instead of using the glassfish server that you use for development. Then make sure it is a "Packaged" deployment and not an "exploded" deployment. If I still had access to MyEclipse I would show you screenshots, but I'm not able to since it was at my last job.
