I'm using JBoss 4.2.3.GA. Sorry, I missed something on my last post. As I removed the webappDirectory element from the POM, all the WebContent structure is being replicated to the folder "target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT". So, I had to change the WTP assembly to point to that folder instead of WebContent. Why? Well, multiple reasons:
 
* I use Maven's resource filtering on some descriptors (i.e. web.xml and jboss-web.xml).
* The *WebContent*/WEB-INF/lib/ doesn't have the libraries anymore (which is a good thing).
* The "target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT" folder has the libraries and the resources after being filtered.
 
So far so good. Now, when I change a file from WebContent (i.e. home.xhtml), it is not copied to the "target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT" folder. The "Publishing to JBoss .." messages appears  but as the file hasn't change in "target/..." folder, there is nothing to copy to the JBoss deploy directory. So, I see no changes in my app.
 
Once I run "mvn package", the "Publishing to JBoss ..." message appears again but this time it is published correctly to the JBoss deploy folder (now it has change in the "target/..." folder!). 
 
Hope it makes more sense.
 
BTW, as the WebContent folder is replicated, when I want to look for a resource, it appears duplicated; one for the WebContent folder and the other for the "target/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT" folder.
