I’d like to be able to register and unregister (install and remove?) webapps dynamically, while the server is running. Tomcat, at least, has this manager application which allows this.
This would avoid the lengthy deployment phase, since the files don’t have to be copied to the Tomcat home dir.
Another advantage (the main one, IMHO) is that it restarting an application is much faster this way. Sometimes, the app does stuff on startup.

Can you not already do this by launching Tomcat from within MyEclipse and then use the Tomcat Manager from deploy/undeploy operations? Do you this you can bypass the MyEclipse deployment step.

MyEclipse SupportI’ve now successfully started to do the following:
I tell MyEclipse to deploy the application normally. Then, I can take advantage of all the hot (code replacement) stuff.
In case I make a change that requires a restart of the application, I use my Ant tasks which stop and then start the application using the manager.
Works beautifully, if I do say so myself.
