If you need some kind of deployer which waits for successful deployment after copying the EAR/JAR/WAR file, I can offer you a bit of code I wrote for the Eclipse Web Tools JBoss plugin. It is basically an ant task, so it should be easy to extract it. You can find it here (code and ant file are in the linked zip): http://www.informatik.fh-wiesbaden.de/~knauf/public (Section "WTP 2.0: Serverdefinition with improved deployment support for JBoss 4.0 and JBoss 4.2") Best regards Wolfgang View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4097885#...
