Hello
We work myEclpse 8.6 (installation details attached bellow)
The test environment is Websphere application server 7.0.0.11
Then we make deployment on the stopped server we get deployment error (the log is bellow)
It says that application .xml is not found but it is in the project and SERVICE_TESTER_EAR.ear that created as result of deployment is correct.
Then I deploy it by Admin console of WAS there are no problems and application works correctly.
The Websphere deployment log is :
WASX7357I: By request, this scripting client is not connected to any server process. Certain configuration and application operations will be available in local mode.

yaniv_illouz ,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Can you answer some more questions for us ?

1. Is the project you are trying to deploy created in MyEclipse or in any other IDE and imported to MyEclipse?

2. If its created in another IDE, did you enhance the project to work with MyEclipse after importing to MyEclipse ?

3. Can you clarify if you are seeing this issue only for this particular project ?

4. We have released latest version 10.1 which has significant improvements from 8.6. I suggest you install MyEclipse Blue 10.1 along side the 8.6 version. The license you hold for 8.6 is valid for 10.1 too as our licenses are time based and not version based.

You can download ME Blue 10.1 from this link :
http://myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=Recommend_Us&req=Download&version=MEBlue

Alternatively you can use Pulse to install ME Blue 10.1. Here is the FAQ to install using Pulse. The tutorial is based on earlier version of MyEclipse. Select Eclipse 3.7 -Indigo and MyEclipse Blue 10.1 and follow the FAQ.
http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-25976.html

5. Once you have installed ME Blue 10.1, import the project,enhance it if its created in another IDE, and try deploying to WAS 7.

Let us know how it works for you.

Hello
Thank you for your help
I've found the problem
Our Ear project contains directory "lib" that was filled with jars file by Ant script
We have to make ear file with our constrains for deployment on server.
When I clear the "lib" directory the deployment from MyEclipse runs without the problem

yaniv_illouz ,

Glad that you got it working.
Do let us know if you see any issues.
