[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-17724: --------------------------------------------- [~clerum] "with some jar deps brought in by maven" - that is what i'm curious about here. Does the exploded directory have any *.jar files in it ? if yes - can you tell me which jars (simplest just point a github repo with the project ;) My *guess* is that one of those jars has metadata that makes wtp see it as a EE dependency and somehow (haven't found where yet) that triggers constant copying instead of only copy when actually changed. If this is the case you can actually go into the server, double click it and change the Applicaiton reload behavior. Check the "Customize application reload behavior..." and remove the \.jar$ part and put \.xxx$ instead Then it should not do the re-deploys (assuming you dont have any .xxx file endings ;) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2.6#6264)
