Description abhisheksharma 2014-09-15 09:07:10 UTC

I am working on a project using maven and netbeans 8.0 on windows 7 64-bit with jdk 8.x

Problem is that. If I make any change in JSP file or css or js file and save that file then netbeans update the target folder and I can simply refresh my web page and it shows me updated file.

But its not the case with JSPF and tag files (*.tag). If I make any change in these files then on refreshing web page, changed do not get reflected. Either I need to clean my project and deploy it again or simply need to redeploy.

This problem was not with netbeans 7.x and jdk 7.x version. I updated netbeans and jdk both at once to 8.x and since then this problem is there. I tried installing netbeans on 4 different systems, problem is same. 

JSPF and tag files are static resources, why do they need a redeploy and even if they do, why were they do not require redeploy in previous versions?

In project settings > Run 
- I have "copy static resources on save" turned on
- Deploy on save is false

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
