In the properties for a project, there is an item named Web Project
Settings which has a single property named Context Root.
My Project name is MYAPP
I set the Context Root to app
Publishing the project produces a directory named:
<webapp>/MYAPP
Should not the directory name for the application follow the context
root name? I was expecting:
<webapp>/app

I don't suppose this could be exposed in properties?

It seemed that the name should in the attribute "deploy-name". However
when I changed it, I could no longer add the project to the server.
So it seems that the "Add/Remove Projects" in the Server matches the
deploy-name with existing project names.
Oh, and when I exited Eclipse with the file open, Ecplise crashed. No
messages, just a pop-up from windows stating that Eclipse abended.

WTP continues to have issues if the project name and the deploy-name do
not match. For example, see:

Likely a JVM bug. You can check the "eclipse" directory to see if any
crash file was written there that might provide clues.

Forgot to look.
I was left with an Eclipse which was "unstable". Every time I tried to
open the project, Project Explorer did not show the project. When I did
a Refresh, two copies of the project were displayed. A deploy only
created MYAPP\WEB-INF\lib. The lib had my external jar files, but the
rest were empty.
It looked like a real mis-match between config files which was not
being cleaned up.
So I ended up deleting Eclipse, then re-installing it. I also created a
new workspace, created a new Web project, then copied in my source.
Thanks for your help.
