Currently if JBoss IDE makes changes to an exploded deployment, and those changes include deploy descriptor updates, the AS immediately redeploys. This can become timeconsuming if the developer is making lots of individual changes. In a discussion with Gavin, he suggested instead of requiring an explicit action of some sort (touching a magic file, hitting a special button), we could also hold off on the redeploy until the first request happens. This could be done on both web and remote invocations.
