When you add a deployment (in our case for jboss) and you select "<Custom Location>", the default "Deploy Location" root directory appears to be set to the parent directory of the jboss home directory. At least that's how I assume it is getting set. For example, my jboss home dir is c:\dev\jboss and the "Deploy Location" defaults to c:\dev\<artifact_name>.

I really want to use a custom location but the issue is that the default deploy location doesn't appear to be editable anywhere and if I change the location and then undeploy and deploy again later, it does not remember the last location you set. For example, I change the value of "Deploy Location" to "c:\deploy" and it deploys to c:\deploy as expected. But if I remove that deployment and then add a deployment again, the default "Deploy Location" is back to "c:\dev". So every time I undeploy/deploy, I'm forced to manually change the location again. I'd really like it if there was a way to set that default location for custom deploys OR at least remember my last directory.

Am I missing anything that would allow me to achieve that?

BTW - my motivation for using a custom deploy location is so that I can deploy my artifacts to a central location that multiple jboss instances can both use as their deployment directory. If there's another way to achieve that, I'm open to suggestions.

Thank you

Forgot to mention, I'm running MyEclipse v10 (Build id: 10.0-20111028)

bminghelli,

Thank you for pointing it. I could replicate the issue at my end. I have filed a PR for the dev team to look into it.
I am afraid we cannot suggest any workaround right now.

Sorry for inconvenience.
