Connecting eclipse to my server

Question

I'm not sure if this is possible, but we are doing a dynamic web project in school, (java,html,css,mysql) and we have a home server running (apache, tomcat, php, mysql) is there a way to connect Eclipse to that server so that i dont always have to pack a new war file and upload it through tomcat manager ? It would be easier if the result could be seen instantly on the server.

Answer 1

Eclipse supports local tomcat deployment. To deploy to a remote tomcat you can either use Maven or Ant.

There is a cargo plugin as well but personally I have not used. My preference is maven plugin.
