This function applies only to the Assembler and Deployer tabs.
Choose Refresh when the JAR file you have loaded to a project has been changed outside the Deploy Tool. If the JAR files are generated using the J2EE Components tab, it is enough to choose Save and to switch between the tabs.
The changes you have made to the descriptors in the Assembler tab will be preserved, even though the values in the archive file have been changed. If you add a new deployment property in the archive file, however, it will be displayed when you refresh.
Choose Refresh when the EAR or some of its component files you have loaded to a project have been changed outside the Deploy Tool.
