What am I missing?  No matter what I try, eclipse/JBoss Developer Studio/etc doesn't seem to remember what is supposed to be in my archive. Here is my .packages file, but it seems to be ignored when I close and reopen eclipse/JBoss Developer Studio: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><packages version="1.3">   <package exploded="true" inWorkspace="true" name="test.war" todir="/testing project archives" type="jar">     <folder name="images">       <properties/>     </folder>     <folder name="javascript">       <properties/>     </folder>     <properties>       <property name="org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.core.packages.ModuleIDPropertyKey" value="1368710637165118646283970390031483"/>     </properties>   </package>   <properties/> </packages> -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/817997#817997] Start a new discussion in JBoss Tools at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
