Post subject: Deployment of web application which uses different output

I use maven to build my applications so i follow the folder structure for maven i.e my build classes go to target/classes for my web application
now i would like to use MyEclipse deployment for testing instead of running maven targets but i think myeclipse is always looking for the classes in the ${webroot}/WEB-INF/classes folder as this is what is setup by default in myeclipse is there any way to make the plugin look for a differnent ouput folder in my project properties the output of classes is set to target/classes

cheers

Stephn,
Yes, you can adjust the Output folder on your Java Build Path project settings, however you won't be able to use the MyEclipse deployment tool correctly if your classes are in a custom location like this. Although I imagine you have custom Ant scripts to handle all this, so it might not be too bad?

is there any way to tell the deployment tool where the classes are located or is that hardcoded into the tool ?

oops spell mistake on name :-)

Not currently, this will be a huge focus we address in our 5.0 release, but for now your project (from the web root folder down) during development needs to be in an exploded WAR format for the best MyEclipse support.
