TYPO3: deploy with eclipse

Not only Typo3 released its new version 4.0. While the ftp was transferring the files of the 4.0 version, I wrote the first working version of an automated typo3 deploy process. Usually we use eclipse with cvs for every project and deploy everything via ant. So why still working with BBedit or UltraEdit via ftp on the remote server within typo projects?

Now the automated task copies all files from my resource folder (typoscript, html, css, layout images), all content of the typo3conf folder (localconf, user extensions) to the remote host and finally clears the page cache. Because only changed files are copied the update is finished within less than ten seconds. Press F5 and see the result. Quite perfect.

Now I can use all the features of eclipse, there is always a proper backup and working in a team is much easier with cvs. So let’s see, what Typo3 4.0 brings with it …
