<p>I am having my web application deployed on Tomcat5.5 and I use it in integration with eclipse 3.2.Each time I close the eclipse and restart it, I need to republish the application even when it hasn't been modified. </p>

<p>Is there a way to avoid this or any step I am missing ?</p>

Do eclipse 3.3 or 3.4, or later versions of WTP behave the same way for you?
