Description zikmund 2004-09-24 21:07:53 UTC 
The ability of adding generic external server
would increase non-supported J2EE servers integration.

The customization could be done e.g. through
configuration file with ant tasks: start,
start-debug, deploy, redeploy, undeploy +
definition of log files.
We could provide configuration files for most
popular servers (e.g. Tomcat 4.x, JBoss, OC4J).

BTW: also remote servers could be easilly used for development.

I always use external tomcat
because the development is a way faster.
If I need debugging I attach via a socket,
set breakpoints in a servlet and go.

I think it's impossible to debug jsp-s in that way
but when you're doing struts development all the logic
and hence the stuff that needs to be debugged is located
in action classes that are debuggable easely. 

I already have ant tasks for my external tomcat management
but integration though at the minimal level with the ide would be 
great.
