Hi Darren,

I see nobody replied to your question yet. I don't have the answer,
but I can tell you that you're using the right procedure and it should
work (both for modules and for any other source changes including
dspace-api).

One thing I can think of is that there are several ways to set up how
Tomcat finds the webapps and one of them (well, the default) is that
Tomcat doesn't look in [dspace]/webapps, but in its own webapps
directory, so you might have to copy the .war files over manually (ant
update reminds you of this). But if you're using <Context> elements in
server.xml or in context fragment files, it looks in the path
specified by the docBase attribute, which you should have pointed to
[dspace]/webapps/... I also faintly remember that symlinking the
Tomcat's webapps directory to [dspace]/webapps didn't work for me.
