If your app is already started, start does nothing. The same with stop action. I think these two actions should be replaced with something like 'touch' in RoR/Apache development. In other words it should be 'Refresh' app action.

What I would like to do here is to apply my changes to the running instance. If we are in the dev mode, it just restarts the app. In the regular mode, we do the full deployment. Start and stop can be controlled from the Deployment Info box.

Anton, I need your comment on it before we start changing it. Having one action that deploys/starts/refreshes is confusing. Using Eclipse SDK as example, and assuming that redeploy/refresh is similar action to clean/build, note that start/stop and clean/build are separate actions.

What do you think?

This was done.
