Is it possible to disable ScanTask on existing Project ? #366

Open c-koell opened 4 years ago

c-koell commented 4 years ago

The liberty plugin is really great but we are facing sometimes problems with the "magic" ScanTask which checks workspace modifications and then starts the automatic created maven build (same name as the project). We have a Project with 3 Liberty Servers. One will be created with the automatic created maven build by the liberty plugin. The two others will be created with seperate maven builds (maven profiles)

After creating the 3 servers will be displayed in the servers view. Sometimes the default maven build will be triggered and as result the two other servers will be removed from the servers view. Now we have to go to the Runtime Explorer View and add the 2 other servers again as servers. (Runtime -> Servers-> Select the Server -> Right Mouse -> New -> Server)

After that the servers will be displayed again in the Servers View.

So the fact that sometimes the default created maven build will be triggered for inexplicable reasons and that after that run other servers will be removed from the servers view it will be great if we can disable that automation.

Is that possible at the moment ?

Hi again ..

Unfortunately, as well as the support in the open-liberty project (http://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/) works, it doesn't work in this project at all.

On some issues there are no responses for weeks to months.

What about the new project lead @theshovon ? Sorry for my words but i think it should be possible to give some answers anyway.

What about a release plan ? In the really active open-liberty project there are every month releases. The issue https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty-tools/issues/348 was opened in november 2019 ! We still wait for a release to use the new maven plugin.

Thanks in advance for any feedback and i hope that someone at IBM feels more responsible for this project in the future !

Just one more word .. i think the eclipse plugin is great but as described it is not really maintained.
