Configuring a container's hot deployment folder

Overview

Before you can deploy applications into a container, you must provide Fuse IDE with information about the containers in your environment. The Deploy Folders Preference panel enables you to configure one or more containers into which Fuse IDE can deploy applications. You provide a name for the container and the full path to the container's deployment folder.

Accessing the deployment preferences

You can access the deployment folders preference panel two ways:

Fuse IDE > Preferences on the menu bar
Package Explorer's context menus

To open the deployment folder's preference panel using the Package Explorer's context menu:

Select the root of a Fuse IDE project.
Right-click it to open the context menu.
Select Deploy to... > Deploy Folder Configurations... to open the Preferences panel (Figure 12, “Deploy folder configuration preferences”).
