Re: [wildfly-dev] Managed exploded deployments

Some details on the current implementation : * the add-content will overwrite existing content so there is no update-content updating instead of just adding means having the state on the client as well as on the server which would require more checks to keep those in sync for no real value from my point of view.

* the add-content/remove-content work with a list of contents thus for an IDE we don't have to create a bunch of ops to upload or delete each change. * you can start from an 'empty' deployment and add contents to it step by step Emmanuel On 10/06/2016 15:38, Brian Stansberry wrote: > Emmanuel Hugonnet has been working on a long requested feature to have > WildFly support "managed exploded deployments."
