Rob, Sorry that I am posting that in forum, but I could not edit the issue by some reason. It always tells me either that issue is closed or issue is null. -- I've got your idea about deployment descriptor and will use fake one to ensure redeployment.

Seems that the archive isn't deployed to JBoss at all... https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4608 Alex.
