We have a bug opened on eclipse webtools / servertools to add automatic publish on BUILD events. I do not think they will accept the idea of automatic publishing on LAUNCH. I don't think that fits in very well with the current options. Also it took a bit of fighting to get WTP to add the on-build so I think it would take even longer for on-launch!
