Hi David,
Sorry for to confusing post.
I'll try to explain better.
I have hot deployment in place. It is working, just not in the best way.
What I have suceeded so far:
I have setup JBoss deploy URLs to search my
${maven.project}/target/{projectWAR}
I deploy using mvn war:exploded so I don't have to wait for the compression
phase.
For JBoss to accept a dir like a WAR (that does not end in .war - maven's
notation), I have configured the war plugin to create the exploded dir with
".war" sufix. Like so...
<!-- Configure the deploy dir as a exploded war file. For JBoss to use it!
-->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<webappDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war</
webappDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
And this is what I have.
All java classes get hot replaced by JBoss Eclipse plugin OK.
JSP's are not!
To refresh JSP after I change them I issue a mvn war:exploded each time I
want to.
This is the best I got so far. It's not a bad solution. It takes only a few
seconds for the projecto to refresh the JSP. BUT this is a bit workarround
and having to set this up for each project...
Anyone has a better aprouch?
Thanks,

Walking on water and developing software
from a specification are easy if both are
frozen.
