I've just tested this on 3.0.0.GA in a new workspace (with JBoss 4.2.2.GA) and am unable to replicate. After doing a full publish, the entire app is redeployed and the console spits out its usual 211 lines of output. I can verify this with timestamps. After one full publish, I get the following: [rob@localhost 1]$ du -a | grep "xml" | cut -f 2 | awk '{print "ls -l " $0;}' | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | sh -rw-rw-r-- 1 rob rob 541 2009-04-09 11:07 ./seam21-ear.ear/META-INF/application.xml After a while, I do another full publish and get: [rob@localhost 1]$ du -a | grep "xml" | cut -f 2 | awk '{print "ls -l " $0;}' | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | sh -rw-rw-r-- 1 rob rob 541 2009-04-09 11:10 ./seam21-ear.ear/META-INF/application.xml Note the timestamp went from 11:07 to 11:10. It seems to be working fine for me? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4224534#...
