[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-3820) Default deploy location should be into server deploy directory, not workspace .metadata folder

[John Graham (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3820?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12453000#action_12453000 ] 

John Graham commented on JBIDE-3820:
------------------------------------

I understand the need to avoid clutter in the server/deploy folder, but I also think that this will be a common cause of confusion. Maybe a middle ground is to have the server node in the Servers view provide properties (including essentially everything that is in the server config file) so the user can quickly check the location in the Eclipse Properties view. Also, maybe tool tip text on the server node showing the deploy location would help to avoid confusion.

> The default deploy location is to a folder under the workspace/.metadata folder, but this is confusing to new users expecting to see contents added to the server/deploy folder. Since the user can adjust this location in the server configuration available from the Servers view, the default deploy location should be to server/deploy.
