hi there!

will there be any problems in hot-deploying if i switch auto-builds off, as they sometimes are really useless and annoying.

So will be there a hot deploy, if i do build manually (CTRL+B) ???

thanks,
axel

Axel,

Hot deployments work off the build loop. If you turn off auto-build, your exploded deployments will not be kept in sync with the changes in your projects. But, once you manually rebuild, the projects should be resync’d at that point as part of the full build process.

thanks for the quick reply, scott!

No problem. Build automatically is great when you’re debugging because your java and jsp changes get saved and updated immediately into the debug VM, thus eliminating server restarts. It’s really a very effective way to work, IMO.

A problem sometimes arises, if you did some stupid mistake while changing code and the vm can’t hotswap your class. But anyway it’s quite cool most of the times.
I just have to hit ctrl+b quite often now, but at least it tries to hotswap now just if I’m sure that I finished what I intended (i’m pressing ctrl+s after every written microthought, just out of habit 🙂
