Push To Client - Save/deploy folder/files

Most 3rd-party add-on tools for Eclipse (RDi) store their configurations in one or more XML files. It would be great if we could specify certain files and/or folders that should be saved by Push To Client and deployed to the same relative path for new clients.


Use Case:

SQL Explorer is a good, free, open source tool for running SQL commands against any JDBC database within RDi. It has two key XML files: SQLAliases.xml contains connection details and SQLDrivers.xml contains driver setup details. Most developers in a shop would need access to the same set of databases, so a shared configuration would be very valuable.

    3rd-party tools providers can extend the types of configurations in push-to-client. For more information, please refer to the following doc:
