Instead of "ant deploy", run "ant direct-deploy".

Instead of copying a war file to the hot deployable directory, it'll just deploy it directly to the app server with all the necessary massaging of XML files and extra libraries.

is this the way to go moving forward? will it eventually replace "hot deploy"?

[Brian Chan]

No, it's just an alternate way for those who don't allow hot deploy in production. We will support both ways.

Mr Chan,

As of 6.1, this build target is broken when issued on top of SDK. Only works from inside project folder.

Another issue was created with solution proposed but it is still pending. We are patching our SDK for this silly bug and love to see it integrated in to distribution.
