There is a file “.struts” in my WEB-INF directory containing the following:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
<workspace_home>./WEB-INF</workspace_home>

If i delete the file i can no longer deploy. The error reads like a locked file error and i cannot deploy/remove/redeploy. Really do not want files generated by myEclipse in this directory – how can i live without .struts? How can i generate one if i do delete it?

Actually it was my Webroot directory – which contains the WEB-INF. So i deleted all the pecky .files and readded the project to eclipse as a web project. All was ok until i changed a jar in my WEB-INF/lib directory. I deleted a jar and now Tomcat 5 deployment is complaining that the jar does not exist and it cannot redeploy. I deleted the deployed directory (i am using exploded deployment) and still cannot deploy the project. It is as if there is a file containing a list of the deployed files and this file is getting out of sync.

There are no issues in the log

I have not had this issue before. Really frustrating. If i delete the webapp i should be able to deploy no matter what i previously deployed.
