Because then you have to restart everytime you have altered a HTML, css, js, or properties file. Another thing is that you loose any debugging tools you have installed. Deployment is only needed when you package into a war. The quickstart is mainly used for development, and therefore it is very reasonable to make the default development, until you package your application. Making this seamless in the building procedure is something that we can do, but hampering development just because of plain stupidity is not something I would like to enforce. If you enforce deployment as a default people will go around it, ask questions on the list and look at other frameworks because we don't have an easy development mode. So the proposal is: set development mode in the web.xml for quickstart. If *no* mode is set, then the default will be deployment. When the application is packaged for war, using maven (or ant?) then we will filter the property and make it deployment. This way we cover the basics: development from the IDE is still development, and building the package (WAR) will choose deployment as a default.
