When trying to deploy create an exploded directory structure to a custom location, discovered in testing that various HTML files, e.g., index.html, in the WebRoot directory were missing from the custom location directory created. Steps to do this were as follows:

o Created a new deployment specifying Custom Location Suffix
o Specifed a custome directory, e.g., c:\exploded
o Ran the deploy … various HTML files, directories in the WebRoot were missing
o Ran a redeploy … files/directories still missing

Using the Eclipse Resource Perspective and Navigator view, showed that the missing files were indeed present in the Web Application space in the WebRoot directory. Decided to refresh the WebRoot directory and redeploy … files/directories were now present in the custom location.

Any idea as to why this is happening? The custom directory was created new, i.e., it did not contain any content before the deploy/redeploy. Perhaps an unreported bug? Did not see anything related to this problem in the forum.

Whenever you perform operations on a file ssytem that is out of sync between the OS’s file system and Eclipse’s view of it, deployments and other operations like builds will fail. When you refreshed, you put Eclipse back in sync and “fixed” it. This setting can be turned on to do it automatically from Window > Prefs > General > Workspace
