Sysdeo Tomcat Launcher - Retrofitting project to Tomcat deletes .java files chlige - Feb 03, 2008 - 06:11 PM Post subject: Retrofitting project to Tomcat deletes .java files
This has happened to me twice (I guess shame on me). Once on a WinXP machine and once on a MacOX 10.4 machine. I install a local copy of Tomcat, so I can test applications locally, install Sysdeo plugin, restart Eclipse, configure the plug-in, configure the project to be a Tomcat project. Everything is fine until I start Tomcat from Eclipse. At that point, it erases all of my source (.java) files. WTF! Luckily I have a copy in CVS but, this morning I spent ~ 90 minutes programming only to lose all my work when I started Tomcat.
I guess the moral of the story is save and commit often.
