I am using Eclipse 4.2 and JBoss 7.
I have Build automatically checked in Eclipse.
Even then I have to build and redeploy the EAR file to JBOSS to test any code changes I make in Eclipse debug mode.
Am I missing something here?
THanks,

What the “Build automatically” option in eclipse do is that when you modify the source code of a class, this one will be automatically compiled, which doesn’t mean that all the whole project that contains the class (i.e. war, jar, ear …) is redeployed in the server. But of course it helps in the speed of deployment, because the classes you’ve been modifying are already compiled when you manually build or deploy the project.
On the other hand, to avoid problems with redeployments, you’d better set up JBoss to delete the files related to the application keeps in the work directory, when the application is undeployed / redeployed. Look at this stackoverflow thread for more information.
