One additional note (sorry to reply to self) -- it seems that this
problem started after I first ran the project in Debug mode. I've tried
cleaning the project and rebuilding, but this problem persists. It's
really a drag.

By "Debug mode", do you mean the "Debug on server" command or the
"Enable Tomcat Debug mode (v4.x and above only)" checkbox in the server
editor?
Cheers,

Sorry, by "Debug mode" I meant Run > Debug...
More on this: I have found that by recreating my workspace and
re-checking out this project from my svn repo, I was able to eliminate
the bad behavior for a few hours (last night). But this morning, after
starting up Eclipse again, I'm seeing the same frustrating behavior.
This is really problematic, because every time I make the smallest
change to any file -- even a .js or .css or other static file -- I have
to stop the server and restart it to get the publish to take effect.
Thanks,
Noel

This isn't something I'm currently able to duplicate, so I'm left to
asking questions and/or guessing. You mention having to stop and
restart the server. Does this mean you are not seeing the server's
Status in the Servers view still sticking on ""Starting..."?
In theory, when you save a static file, the server's State in the
Servers view should briefly switch from Synchronized and then return to
Synchronized when the change has been auto-published. Is this
happening? If so, can you see the changed file in the running Tomcat?
To determine where catalina.base is pointing, see:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/faq/TomcatServerFAQ.php#info _04
Your webapp should appear under the "webapps" folder at this location.
Cheers,
Larry

Thanks for your replies. No, I am still seeing the server's Status in
the Servers view sticking on "Starting...". The behavior you describe
about what happens when I change a static file doesn't happen -- it's
just permanently on "Starting...". And when I look in the
catalina.base, I don't see the changed file.
I am giving things a try with WTP 2.0RC2 now. If the issue doesn't
recur there I won't pursue it with 1.5.4.
Thank you again,
Noel

At this point, I would guess that the server not reaching the "Started"
Status is interfering with publishing the static file changes. It would
seem the "ping" test that tries to determine when the server is ready to
serve requests isn't succeeding for some unknown reason. I'm not aware
of any changes in WTP 2.0 that would affect this kind of issue, but who
knows. Let us know how it turns out.

When I upgraded to WTP 2.0, this problem went away. Until today. It
seems to have started just after I install oXygenXML. I'm using Europa,
with all current updates.
You mentioned a "ping" test -- what precisely does that do, and how
could I check whether/why it's failing?
Thanks,
Noel

Disabling oXygenXML makes this problem go away.
I should file a bug with oXygen. Any tips on what I should direct them
to be looking at? Anything I could possibly do to stop oXygen from
interfering with Eclipse knowing that my Tomcat server has successfully
started up?
Thanks again,
Noel
