We currently do a whole bunch of unnecessary work when the user does Run File on a JSP of a directory deployed project.... While the user can do save, application switch, reload.. that is at least 3 keystrokes instead of 1. The IDE has enough information to do the right thing on Run File, so forcing users to do it instead is a usability issue.
