Han Hong Fang commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-715:
------------------------------------------------

There are two kinds of project status in servers view, Synchronized indicates 
that the application files in eclipse workbench and on the server are matching 
and Republish indicates the mismatch. Once the bundle project is updated, only 
the bundle project is marked as Republish to indicate it is different with the 
files on server. Same to the OSGi application, if OSGi application project is 
updated, only OSGi application is marked as Repulish. From the project status 
point of view, the OSGi application listed under server is treated as a single 
project. Its status only indicates if this single project is modified in 
workbench. But from the publish or deployment point of view, in both cases the 
whole OSGi application is re-deployed.

The same behaviour to EAR application. Once EJB or other EAR associated project 
is updated, only the updated project is marked as Republish to indicate the 
changes in workbench.

According to 
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.wst.server.ui.doc.user/topics/rwrcview.html,
 project status description are as below.

Synchronized: Both copies of the application files on the server and in the 
workbench are matching.
Republished:  The copy of the application files on the workbench has changed 
and does not match the copy on the server. The server needs to be updated.

> When a module in an application (EAR or EBA) is updated, Eclipse indicates 
> that single module alone is being republished. However, in reality the entire 
> application is being redeployed. This can be confusing to GEP users.
