When I work in on an servlet application in Eclipse, I have to choose Clean Working Directory in the server tab of Eclipse for the changes to be visible in the browser. Is there any way to make sure that I only have to build my servlet and the changes are immediately visible?
A:
Honesty, i do not think this is possible.
It is like programming in javascript and there is no way to see the result without clearing the browsers cache and reloading the page.

Ah, thank you. If you put it that way it actually makes a lot of sense :-)

A:
Doubleclick the Tomcat entry in Servers view, go to the Publishing section and select Automatically publish when resources change.
It by the way won't happen that "immediately". It might take around 3 seconds, you should see this activity in server logs. Although a slow starter, but Glassfish publishes in a subsecond. You may consider it instead for fast development.
