After the advices, i took a peek on the the eclipse maven run configuration that i use to launch tomcat7:run, and i notice the checkbox : "Resolve Workspace Artifacts". Ticking that checkbox, and re-run the tomcat7:run works great now, which can see the other modules' changes without rebuilding !
Thanks a lot, i feel i can begin my fire dance now ! Anyway, i just want to report something that may not be related with this topic in case that'd be useful. I have these warnings when starting up tomcat7:run : [INFO] Scanning for projects...
