Hi Carlos,
Sorry it was my mistake to say two workspaces. I have two projects in one workspace and this gives the problem I said earlier.

I saw this in Appendix C in TOC
"Running Ant Tasks from Within Eclipse"
Is this IDE only helpful in Running Ant Tasks or
Does this editor help in writing ANT script provided we specify all the info. like source and output directory along with the projects (web, EJB etc)

Tim,
I'm surprised to learn that there is no direct support for Web Services in Eclipse 3.0. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Guys, do you mean that WSAD is good just to use with WAS? I haven't heard that WSAD is such server-specfic IDE... Can anyone comment on this? Thanks a lot for your great opinions on the issue of Eclipse and WSAD...

I have been using WSAD for a short while in my day job and I really like it. At the office we deploy .ear files to our WAS environment.
Just for fun (on my own dime) I have also barely started to look at Eclipse and using it with Tomcat as the application server. Does the concept of an J2EE Enterprise Application (ear) project exist in Eclipse/Tomcat? In WSAD I can select New/Project/J2EE/Enterprise Application Project. In Eclipse, I don't have J2EE as a choice. Is there a plugin for this functionality?
In WSAD the GUI interface for the EAR (application) Deployment Descriptor allowed me to specify a utility project where I could keep classes that were common to multiple projects. Does this functionality exist for Eclipse?
Carlos, if I had read your book would I already know the answers to these questions?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi.
I use Eclipse 3.1 and it bugs me how Eclipse takes so long to start up. The splash screen loads and does not disappear for about 10 seconds, while all the modules are loaded. Is it at all possible to disable some to make Eclipse quicker to start up?
Is at all possible to have multiple 'workspaces' open at the same time within the same instance of Eclipse, much like with Netbeans? With Netbeans, you can have multiple projects within different directories (not just same parent directory) open at the same time using 'Mount Filesystem'. Is anything like this possible with Eclipse?
Many thanks for taking the time to read these questions and if you reply,
Jon

Greetings Carlos,
What about the 3.1 "M" versions? Does the plugin architecture for these differ from 3.0?
thanks,

I'm using WSAD 5.1.2, how useful is your book for people working with WSAD 5.1.X?

Does Eclipse 3.0 support XDE? Or I need to install it by myself?

Hi Carlos,
Do you mean that the name WSAD has been changed to another name? I didn't know about that...
Since you said you are a big fan of WSAD, do u usually follow the releases of Eclipse or the releases of WSAD? Do u encourage someone to use WSAD instead of Eclipse, if he/she can afford it? Because the company I am working for is currently in this situation...
Thanks...

Hi Carlos,
I have found out that Java(TM) Developer's Guide to Eclipse, 2nd Edition got pretty high rating in Amazon as well as in the book review forum of our Ranch by our sheriff, Mr.Thomas Paul, here.
If you have read this book, could you mention a bit to us about the writing approach that you use to present the Eclipse topics in your book, comparing to that book? I am just curious to know how the two high rating books like yours and that book differ in writing or presentation style...
If you have not read that book yet, it does not matter...
Thanks a lot...

Its one of the reasons I switched to Eclipse from Netbeans as its really all the way free..
