Code for auto deploying your custom component

[Former Community Member]

I wrote an ant script for creating my components for me. It was still tedius to deploy them over and over in Workbench. I wrote the java app below (much of the setup is from sample files in help). I configured my Java project in my IDE to use this file as what runs and to run my ant task to build the component before running. So I can just change code, hit the quick key for run and my new code is deployed on the server to test.

            componentReg.uninstall(myComponent);

            componentReg.start(myComponent);

        }

        catch(Exception e)

        {

            e.printStackTrace();

        }

    }
