In the previous message you say to let you know if issue 2 is not working. I am using Eclipse 3.1 with MyEclipse 4.1.1 on Windows XP SP1. I have two releases of the same project and they need to have the same context root. When I try to deploy one over the other it warns me that exploded development overlaps an existing deployment. It gives me three options but the Finish button remains greyed out. If I delete the existing project manually its ok but it would be nice if three options in the dialog box were available as that’s easier.

Ashley,
This is intention as overlaying two almost identical projects can lead to numerous errors that people would then come back to the forums with things like “I’m changing my files and they aren’t getting deployed, Tomcat keeps loading the old copy!”, but the real issue is that since the deployment is a mish-mosh of the two projects, there is likely some loading of wrong resources going on there.We make it mandatory to erase the old project to somewhat forcefully help people to avoid conflicts and weird situations. You can of course avoid this by changing the two separate contexts to something like /myapp1 and /myapp2… can you explain your use case such that you need both projects to have exactly the same context *and* you need them to overlap eachother?
