From times to times, when I try to “redeploy” my J2EE application I get the following error of ‘application.xml’ not found.

JBoss Log:

Any ideas?

Erez,

This is most likely because JBoss is locking some of the resources, like application.xml, that get replaced during a full redeploy. What you really appear to want to do is reload your application within JBoss, not necessaryily recopy all your application content. We’ll be adding the ability to do server-specific reloading in a subsequent maintenance release but in the interim you can simply ‘touch’ the application.xml file within MyEclipse and this should trigger JBoss to completely reload your application.
