Well, it turns out, on my one project, I had the "Server Modules without Publishing" checked. Once I unchecked that, that project also gets redeployed every time I touch any class file. the class files timestamp changes but the web.xml timestamp never changes and is never touched and this causes a redeploy. I am very confused. I distinctly recall, you had ot touch the web.xml file to cause a redeploy in tomcat but that is not what I am seeing at this instant. I don't like how JBoss tools or WTP modifies my tomcat config files!!! Somehow the MyEclipse developers figured out a way to pass stuff in on the command line and re-use the same tomcat instance I use. That rocked because then I could go run ./catalina.sh run after I deployed with eclipse and debug eclipse deployment problems where eclipse was not deploying a file I needed or something. It was very nice feature. Should I add a feature request there? Well, the work around is to check "Server Modules without Publishing" but I don't like doing that. OH, another feature I LOVE in myeclipse is checking the "Merge all dependent projects into the WEB-INF/classes folder" as this allows me to publish everything and still do hot swap on the dependent projects. I loved that feature....can I request that one as well? Are you not seeing constant redeployment in tomcat when you change a java file??? thanks, Dean View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4255952#...
