I remember experiencing a similiar problem with Eclipse and Tomcat. It
seemed that whenever I deployed, Tomcat wouldn't recognize that files
had changed and it would never reload the application. I recall being
frustrated when I made small changes to sqlMap xml files and I had to
completely shutdown and restart Tomcat. I resolved the issue by
building my own Ant script to deploy my project. The code below is
several months old and I am no longer working on the project. I used
the code with Eclipse 2 then upgraded to Eclipse 3. That may have been
the MyEclipse version. I remember going through a big IDE upgrade at
some point. Larry and Brandon helped out answering questions with my
iBATIS 1.x to 2.x upgrade too!
This code was used against a Tomcat 5 installation, not 5.5:
<!--
references to Java classes that enable ant to
interact with Tomcat5; Elcipse v3.x thinks the links
below are errors (yellow underlining) while v2.x
does not; the project should build and installs as expected
despite these warnings;
-->
<taskdef name="install"
classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.InstallTask">
<classpath>
<path location="${tomcat.home}/server/lib/catalina-ant.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<taskdef name="list" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.ListTask"/>
<taskdef name="reload" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.ReloadTask"/>
<taskdef name="remove" classname="org.apache.catalina.ant.RemoveTask"/>
