I notice that the Project Deployments dialog, does not seem to confirm that all files in the deployment have been saved before the Redeployment process is started. I expected deployment from an IDE to a server to depend on having the latest versions of the files.

However, restart of the server does give the user the opportunity to save all unsaved files before proceding. I did not expect start of a server to be dependent on the state of files in an IDE.

What is the logic of the current file saving policy?

I believe the underlying reasoning here is because of Hotsync that is supported with exploded deployments, such that if you save a file, it is automagically deployed out to the application server for you.

OK, Thanks.
