I wouldn’t classify this as a bug but more of a request.

When the web context-root is changed while a web app is deployed under Tomcat 5 using SuSE 9.3, JDK 1.5_03, Eclipse 3.1, the old web context is correctly undeployed from the webapps directory, but the web app is not redeployed under the new web context-root and no message is displayed to the user indicating that the old web app is being removed from the MyEclipse list of managed deployments accept the undeployment message from Tomcat itself.

It would be nice if MyEclipse automatically redeployed the web app under the new web context-root or at a minimum told the user that the old web app is being removed from the MyEclipse list of managed deployments.

Maybe auto redeployment is undesirable for some people when the web context-root changes or it can’t be done across all supported servers. Also, since it is probably a rare occurrence for most people, it may not be warranted to implement this, but I believe it would be convenient to have the software handle this instead of the user, it seems to fit the philosophy of your “sync-on-demand” technology and you seem to have most of the code already in place to handle this use-case.

What say you?

That should have been “except” not “accept.”
