Deploying external sources on appserver startup

You need to override DeploymentProvider#createNewDeploymentModel(CommonModel,DeploymentSource) method instead of deprecated
createNewDeploymentModel(CommonModel, ArtifactPointer) to avoid the exception.

Acceptable extensions for file chooser are determined by artifact types supported by the server. You can return
Arrays.asList(WebArtifactUtil.getInstance().getExplodedWarArtifactType(), WebArtifactUtil.getInstance().getWarArtifactType())
from implementation of DeploymentProvider#getSupportedArtifactTypes to indicate what the servers supports only web artifacts.

A user of the Jetty plug-in reported that "Add | External Source..."
on the Deployment tab of a Run/Debug Configuration doesn't work.

I can reproduce the problem and see this exception in idea.log when
clicking OK on the "Select files or directories to deploy" filechooser:

None of my plug-in code features in the stacktrace, and I don't see any
of my code being called during this process.  What should I be doing to
prevent the IAE?  Presumably overriding some base appserver method
implementation that's returning null?

>

If I perform the same action using the Tomcat integration then the chosen
war file is added correctly.

I noticed that for Tomcat the chooser filters out jar files but for Jetty
it doesn't.  What should I be doing to prevent jar files from being
shown?  I don't see any relevant FileFilter in the Tomcat Integration
source.

Thanks for any pointers...
