Whenever I delete a project from the workspace, it neglects to remove it from the list of deployments I have set up. When I go to deploy a project with the same name in the future, it warns me about a deployment that already exists with the same name, but I know this is the project I’d deleted before.

My current workaround is to delete the “com.genuitec.eclipse.ast.deploy.core.prefs” file in the “WORKSPACE\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime\.settings” directory.

Wouldn’t normal behavior allow for one to delete a project without having to worry that a deployment is associated with it?

Rahman,
When you go to reploy the new same-named project, you should have two radio buttons… (1) Backup existing project or (2) Delete existing project… just select the 2nd one and hit Deploy… is there something that isn’t working with this mechanism?

No: I’ve seen that mechanism before, for example when I deploy to ROOT on a fresh Tomcat installation with no previous deployments. In this case, I get this error at the top, but no radio buttons at the bottom:

Context-root ‘/tester’ already in use by project tester deployed on server Tomcat 5.

We are researching this behavior now to verify that it is not an RC3 related problem. We’ll try to post a response late this evening or early tomorrow (CST).

Thanks a lot, no rush…just a minor annoyance I thought I’d ask about.

If its any help, I’d been using M8 with an older version of MyEclipse (I forget the version number) and I still had this issue, except my workaround was to delete a folder named “com.genuitec.eclipse.ast.deploy.core” inside the .metadata directory.
