restart jboss on adding jar file in lib folder - jboss

I am working with 4 instance of JBoss AS 7 in cluster.
If I develop an class to be deployed as a library and deploy the jar file in server/all/lib folder, Do I have to restart jboss?
Also do I have to copy the file on each server of the cluster and restart each instance of Jboss.

How to avoid deployment at each reboot JBoss EAP 7.2 server?

Every time I start jboss EAP 7.2.0 server (standalone), my ear file present in the "standalone\deployments" folder is deployed. Is it possible to avoid deployment at each reboot of the server?
Have a look at the documentation
So earfilename.ear.skipdeploy should do the trick.
Also if you undeploy the application a earfilename.ear.undeployed file is created. As long as this file exists the application won't be deployed.

Deploy IVY resolved war file to eclipse tomcat?

I am trying to understand whether it is possible to have an eclipse tomcat runtime configuration that will publish the IVY resolved war files when tomcat is started?
I have created a tomcat server instance in eclipse and pointed it at a catalina configuration which includes a server.xml that specifies the contexts. For example.
<Context docBase="Module1" path="/Module1"/>
Module1 is a resolved war file and I have added the corresponding ivy.xml file to the eclipse tomcat classpath. I can see the war file has been resolved, but I assume I must have to do something extra to get the war files auto deployed on server startup?

Jboss autodeployment of exploded war not working

i was able to autodeploy my exploded war file under standalone/deployment folder , and suddenly my auto deployment stopped working
i am using eclipse IDE, where i have my projects and using File Sync plugin i am moving my testweb.war file to my JBoss AS 7.1 server deployment folder.
i have made below changes in my jboss admin console to achieve autodeploy exploded war.
i have tried cleaning standalone configuration directory, but same result, autodeployment was not happening when there is a file change in the exploded.war.
since i was deploying exploded war file only, i have unchecked Auto-deploy unzipped and made false, then after autodeployment for exploded war file started working in my jboss.

Eclipse running a web app on an existing tomcat installation

I have an existing tomcat server running on my local machine that is being started from outside of eclipse. Is there a way to deploy my web app from eclipse to that tomcat instance without having eclipse trying to start that instance of tomcat?
It's possible using ANT scripts in eclipse which will deploy war file into tomcat directory and tomcat will take care rest of the things.
For those ant scripts you can see this below links

Deploy "exploded" folder to Tomcat in Eclipse

I just installed Eclipse for Java EE developers, Created a New Project by checking out files through SVN from a repository.
I was able to successfully generate an "exploded" web app folder through an ANT build.
How do I deploy this exploded folder (not .war file) to Tomcat? Any configuration that needs to be done?
Thanks.
Just make an ant target that copies the folder directly into the deploy folder of tomcat, usually $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps. Tomcat should then deploy the app in it's container.
