Hi everyone,
I've committed this afternoon an Eclipse bundle "org.xwiki.appserver" in
the xwiki-sandbox, which was written by Mikhail Kotelnikov and which is
available under the Apache License.
The component declares an extension point "org.xwiki.appserver.webapps"
for registering webapps that are then loaded by the Eclipse component
"org.eclipse.tomcat". Using this component, we can then easily run the
XWiki webapp entirely from a set of Eclipse plugins + XWiki components.
A step by step tutorial for doing this is available from there:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XWikiAndEclipse_Setup
We went through this tutorial this afternoon with Fabio and everything
went fine.
The bundle may be useful for deploying easily the XWiki offline module
together with XWiki-Eclipse. We may consider replacing it by Dysoweb at
some point, which looks more powerful, but I don't have experience with
Dysoweb for now:

Cheers
Stéphane
