Configuring a Container's Deploy Folder

Revision History

Overview

Before you can deploy applications into a container's deploy folder, you must provide the tooling with the location of the container's deploy folder. The Deploy Folders preference panel enables you to configure one or more containers. You provide a name for the container and the full path to the container's deployment folder.

Accessing the Deploy Folder preference panel

You can access the deployment folders preference panel two ways:

  • selecting JBoss Developer Studio > Preferences from the main menu

    This method opens the general Eclipse preference window. You need to select Fuse Tooling > Deploy Folders from the list of preferences in the panel on the left side of the widow.

  • selecting Deploy to... > Deploy Folder Configurations... from the project's context menu

    This method opens the preferences window and ensures that the Deploy Folders panel is selected.
