Hot deployment for java files

[akash_krsna]

Hello

I am trying to do a 'HOT' deployment of my web-app. I am using
JBoss 4.2.1 GA & jboss-ide 2.0.0.Beta series (eclipse3.3.1 plugin).

Any modification in jsp files reflects on the fly that is without restarting the
jboss-server. But this does not happen when java files are modified. In
latter case I have to restart the server!

I tried 'touching' the web.xml (meaning doing some change in it so that
time-stamp changes) but to no avail.

I tried to modify server.xml (present in <JBoss_Home>/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer) for following
entry autoDeploy="false" to autoDeploy="true".
but this does not help either.

pl share your opinion.

regards
Akash

update to something more recent (like jboss tools GA) then it should be muuuch easier ;)

But JBossTools 2.0.0.GA seems to be not accessible through eclipse update
manager using the following update-site:
