Konrad, if you use the "advanced editor" when replying there is a "Choose file" option available.
About your usecase I want to go investigate what Tomcat server adapter actually do - if they force restart on every *.class change or something more/less specific.
I believe we can quite easily add option for full module restart if some regular expression matches on a file which could help you ?
btw. could you let me know if tomcat 7 adapter actually redeploys module on updates to transitive project dependencies ? (I don't see it happening so just wondering if I've configured/looked somewhere wrong)
...and please lets help you actually do development on your production server target :)
