Running the J2EE Tools

Application Deployment Tool

The Application Deployment Tool enables you to build and deploy J2EE components and applications. If you run the deploytool script with no options, the GUI version is launched:

deploytool

The GUI version includes online help information that is context sensitive. To access a help topic for a particular dialog box or tabbed pane, press f1. For a quick introduction to the tool, see the Getting Started chapter of this manual.

The command-line version of the tool also enables you to deploy and undeploy applications. The following table describes the tool's command-line options:
