Answer 1

I think you are looking for hot deployment?

Heres a good tutorial I seen a while ago http://www.mkyong.com/eclipse/how-to-configure-hot-deploy-in-eclipse/

Answer 2

Whenever you change your code , Automatically eclipse detect your source has modified, and start redeploying your actual code into server . So that Tomcat server is restarting in a particular time interval.

You can configure tomcat for reload automatically, configure the attribute reloadable to true of the Context.

For do Tomcat 7 you must do.

Edit CATALINA_HOME/conf/context.xml Change:

<Context>

For:

<Context reloadable="true">

Where CATALINA_HOME is your tomcat installation.

Answer 3

clicks on the “ Module ” view, make sure “ Auto Reload ” is “ Disabled “. Default is enabled. It will stop the auto restart.

To do it in one go for all modules

In server options, uncheck option Modules auto reload by default
