I am currently using My Eclipse 7.0 and Jboss 5.x. When using packaged deployments and runs to a remote server, I noticed that the packaged deployment creates the .War file remotely and compresses the contents on the fly to the destination location. Given that the resulting .war file is much smaller than the uncompressed files is there a way to configure remote deployment such that the .war file is constructed locally before copying it to the remote server in order to speed up deployment?
