Thanks - glad it worked for you. There have been a few small fixes since
the release, so please try grabbing the CVS version if you find bugs in
v0.8.

Not sure ... it's difficult in windows to know when you're really
modifying the timestamps, so I just use cygwin's "touch" command for my
testing. It seems to work. If IDEA isn't changing the timestamps when a
redeploy happens, I'm not sure how we can check for a change (MD5s are a
bit expensive for such an unimportant check). Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Rick
