Deployment
Exploded WebTools WAR and EAR projects
WebTool's EAR and WAR's are automatically deployed as exploded to support fastest possible turnaround during development.
Single file deployment
There is now a "Deploy to server" in the context menu of files to allow single file deployement.
This is to remedy that Eclipse WebTools currently only support deployment of complete WTP projects.
To deploy these non-WTP files/projects right click on the file (-ds.xml, .ear, .jar etc.) and select "Deploy to server..." and it will be automatically deployed.
Deploy to Server is available in the context menu of files
The deployed files are listed side-by-side with other "modules" that are deployed to the server.
Classpath containers
In previous versions our classpath containers were too conservative about which jars to include (we only included the minimal). To fix this we started including (almost) all libraries found in the AS installation.
In future versions we would like to provide more finegrained options for what is actually included in the runtime libraries.
Configuration
Username/Password in UI
A username/password is now available in the UI when configuring the server.
Previously this had to be specified via command line arguments manually, now the adapter maintains this for you.
If you get an SecurityException when trying to launch the server it is most likely because your server is protected and hence you need to fill the username/password fields with apropriate values
