[Wtp-wst-dev] Apache Derby server adapter

[Susan Cline <home4slc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

 

Back in March of this year Rajesh Kartha posted about creating a Derby server definition /adapter.  Tim DeBoer responded with this information:

 

 The main server tools framework is in the WST server component. The best
place to start is in the overview on the org.eclipse website, and the
javadoc in org.eclipse.wst.server.core and org.eclipse.wst.server.ui. The
extension points in these two plugins provide support for a new server type,
as demonstrated by the Tomcat support.

 

Also, I found a WTP 0.7 release review presentation online dated July 6th from the WTP PMC

mentioning Derby under the list of supported servers.

 

I'm trying to determine if this work has already been done, or if it still needs to be done.

I do know Rajesh is no longer working on this.

I'd like to investigate the work involved and possibly do this if no one has already done it.

 

I also noticed that Gorkem Ercan has created a generic server definition file for it, but I'm wondering if the best way to do this is to use the Tomcat Server packages as a model for the Derby server.

 

Can someone confirm if anyone is working on this and if not, tell me if the believe the best way to proceed would be to use the Tomcat server as a model for Derby?

 

Thanks very much,
