I just finished reading the Wiki Project Layout page
( http://wiki.objectweb.org/eclipse-webtools/Wiki.jsp?page=Pro jectLayout).
Based on my experience and the community input, I wonder if there is too
much focus on projects. It appears the direction may be to create separate
Web, EJB, Enterprise, application client and library projects much like WSAD
does. I think this is the wrong approach and something I found unintuitive
when moving from JBuilder and ANT to Eclipse and WSAD. I think there should
be a single Java project in which you can add configurations to it. So a
single Java project could contain the Web, EJB and Enterprise configurations
and artifacts. Configurations could be added and configured either using the
project properties (project icon could change if configurations are added)
or like JBuilder does by adding nodes to the project tree.

Hi Christopher,

The design of the J2EE project-interaction architecture is under
discussion for the first Web Tools release. Some information on our current
state can be found at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/jst/components/serv er/development/miscdocuments/?cvsroot=WebTools_Project .
We are currently collecting and integrating comments from other WTP
contributors. A refresh of the document should be available within the week.

At a high level, we will encourage the use of a single project per
module because of the advantages that it provides. The single project
metaphor makes it easier to understand the dependencies between modules and
to validate those dependencies in a development environment, which can catch
potential problems before they are deployed into a runtime environment.
However, we are building in flexibility for users who still have a need for
a multiple-modules-per-project metaphor due to preference or legacy systems.


Thank you for your participation.

Kind Regards,

Michael D. Elder
