I would like to be able to click on a jar in my lib project and choose convert to web libary project (or something like that) Than it will create a new Java project extract the contents of the jar into it. and register this as a Web Libary Project for that Web Project
hey John - I'm not certain I follow the enhancement, but it sounds similar to the use case described in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=138648. Is your request now covered by the ability to mark library cp entries for "publish/export" in a utility project that is a WEB-INF/lib dependency of a dynamic web project and have those JARs end up in the WEB-INF/lib dir of the exported/published WAR?
Rob, basically the request was to fluff up a jar in the web lib folder of a web project into an actual java project in th workspace, then reflect this change in the web project by referencing the new project as a web library project. If this scenario is covered, then we can dup it.
no, I had misunderstood (I interpreted "click on jar in my lib project" to mean "select a JAR cp entry in a dependent utility project and explode it into another Java project" - and this would be needed since publish/export for the child JARs had not previously been supported)
Assigning to Chuck for evaluation
No plans for this enhancement - currently this couple be done by importing into a Java EE Utility project, the same jar in the folder, the Java EE dependencies/Manifest may need to be edited for dups... Not a request we have heard more than once.
