Hi Eric, What works for us is to put the following bit in our pom.xml:
<build> <outputDirectory>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory> </build> (obviously we put a .gitignore to keep them out of source control) The websphere connector needs your classes to be in WEB-INF/classes to be able to run your web module directly from your workspace. If they are not, then it falls back to the behaviour you are seeing. It copies your web root and your build outputdirectory to this .plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\WarProject location. This in turn causes your problem of needing a publish step before you see the updates to your jsp's. Please look at my explanation of the looseconfig.xmi in the reply to your question last month. This will help your understand the way websphere and websphere eclipse connector work together.
