deployment descriptors files are updated.

+JST now includes an intelligent "touch descriptors" button which will change
the timestamp for the relevant descriptor.

deployed and the applications server will automatically detect the change.

+
+<p>Note: The touch feature is intelligent enough to detect which descriptor to
touch according to what type of project that is currently selected. e.g. if you are in WAR
that is deployed into an EAR it will also touch the EAR's descriptors to ensure it is
also properly restarted; if the WAR is not in an EAR only the war descriptors will be
touched. Same procedure happens for EJB jar's.</p>
