[jbosside-dev] WTP deployment questions

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

There are a couple of disturbing bugs about "delta-detection" in WTP:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=146067
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=122720
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=150673

...and the worst thing i see is that even if we could make our WTP server
adapter insanely quick ;), we will not be able to opt-out of those resource
traversals that the WTP "bug" is doing.

Great...Rob - is this something you have been looking into ?
