[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-3772) Request way to create .esb file from ESB project

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-3772:
------------------------------------

A workaround is to use the JBoss deploy-only server where you basically just set a deploy folder. It's just a server that's really nothing more than a shell for a folder to deploy to.

This should cover the user's use-case 100%. 

I'm trying to trace through the WTP code for export. I'm not gonna lie, it's overly abstracted, however, to get a basic export as esb should be pretty easy to get up and running. 

As for Max's comment 3,a few things:  They don't use the exact API in terms of getting children modules.  They both access the same underlying models (the virtual component model). The issue we had in the past had to do with the export using different code than their module adapter did. 

I've noticed in the export wizard there is now a section that says "optimize for server X" so I'll be digging into this a bit more. 

Regardless, the ESB project has no children project types, and so if we code it it could work pretty well and at least be more intuitive for the user to find than the deploy-only server.

> Love the new esb project wizard.  Wanted to deploy the esb project to another server (not configured in JBDS) and wanted to be able to create a .esb archive from the ESB project so I could deploy it on another server.  Don't see any way to do that and can't seem to find a place in the JBoss deploy directory where a .esb archive is being created when deployed from JBDS.
> Would like team to consider adding "Export | ESB Archive" like there is "Export | WAR", "Export | EAR", etc. for other types of projects.  Maybe there is a better way to do this, but would like some mechanism to get a .esb file from a JBDS ESB project.
