Eclipse and SubClipse: How to deploy my own package with svn to a TomCat server?

Question

I'm using SubClipse for Eclipse for my project. And in this project I've added my own package "com.mytestpkg.www"

I then use TortoiseSVN to deploy my project on the TomCat server where the project is running, because i the easily can update the site with "SVN Update".

But using this method I always have to manually update my package by copying it from my Eclipse workspace build path to the WEB-INF folder classes/com/mytestpkg/www.

Is there a way to make Subclipse/SVN update this file directly with the other files?

Answer 1

Why don't you do this a more conventional way; e.g.

• get Eclipse to create and deploy a WAR file
• use Ant or Maven to build the WAR file and deploy it by hand. (The Maven way of building WAR files is really slick!)

Doing a checkout into a Tomcat server's webapps directory is ... weird. And you've got the problem of stopping the world seeing the .svn directories.
