Hi redbird: Browsing the code, it only autopublishes if the server is "started". I realize the deploy-only server doesn't NEED to be started (as it wouldn't effectively start anything =P ) and in fact, clicking run on the deploy-only server will do nothing at all other than set its state to started. So try that. If the state is started, it will try to autopublish on any changes. I realize it's kinda silly but that's how it works ;) The alternative is to click on the "publish" icon in the servers view or jboss servers view whenever you want to publish.
