From a user, who attempts to import a web project which does not have WEB-INF inside docroot. Looks like the config files node is not refreshed correctly. Note that I did not try to reproduce this issue. * My "webapp" directory doesn't contain a WEB-INF, which causes a message to pop up every time I do anything -- annoying! * My descriptors are in a different directory -- can't see a way to add them to the "Configuration Files" tab. * Manually create WEB-INF directory and copy descriptors (web.xml + lots of config files) across. Refresh all files and they don't show up in the "Configuration Files" section. Have to open web.xml from Files view.
Related to issue 64088 - happens in the scenario described in that issue.
TM 5.0->TBD
Currently it is not supported to have placed web.xml somewhere else than in WEB-INF under Web Pages. Agreed that Configuration Files are not refreshed. It is not necessary to go to the Files view, web.xml can be found under Web Pages node which is refreshed.
The first part related to the WEB-INF location has been already fixed (issue #64088).
First, the most important part has been fixed. Other two - no plan to fix them.
