I understand your concern completely. I'm using a different workflow
to avoid that useless rebuild. I still make changes to the source
files - the reason is, if I instead made a change to live config and
forget to make the change in source, next time I run ant I would lose
that change.
1. vim [dspace-source]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg
2. cp [dspace-source]/dspace/config/dspace.cfg [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg
3. /etc/init.d/tomcat restart
Thus - no need to rebuild and no fear of losing changes. One thing to
be aware of is to back up your old config. Ant does that for you but
here I skip that step. I do the same with theme files (it will work if
you want to change any but the .java files, then you should use
mvn/ant).
Just my 2 cents, choose a workflow that works best for you.
