John,
I've encountered a similar behavior when using the J2EE Webmodule
project template, but I think it has nothing to do with the template;
it appears to be a problem with XCode editor itself.
The problem is that the editor doesn't detect files modified outside
the application (or inside the application but from another window).
In my case, the build tool (ant) externally updated the two files
"web.xml" and "jboss-web.xml" in the "WEB-INF(XDocletGenerated)" group
in the project list.
The changes were *not* picked up by the embedded editor pane, or any
detached editor windows that had the file open. I could happily edit it
by hand, save it, and loose the changes the XDoclet ant task made to
it.
To an XCode newbie like me, this seemed too big of an oversight to be a
bug, so I thought it was my wrong somewhere. But, if people can confirm
the problem we should file a bug.

Greetings XCode land:
I wanted to check if a behavior I've noticed can be seen by others.
The behavior involves potential data loss so if corroborated, it
should definitely be filed as a bug.
I've been experimenting with a Java project using ant as an external
target. Source files are included through folder references (i.e.
folders appear with a blue icon). These are the steps I have taken:
- open a Java source file in a standalone editor window; intentionally
leave a compile-time error in it
- try to build; XCode will report the build error (parsed from the ant
output)
- in the build window, open the embedded editor pane, and click on the
build error; XCode takes you directly to the offending line
- edit that line and save it from the embedded editor in the build
window
- building again should work
Now here is the rub: the separate editor window does NOT get updated
with the changes in the build window. The ultimate side effect being,
if I make more edits in the separate editor and save that, the fix
from the build window disappears!
This bit me a few times before I realized what was happening.
Fortunately it was in a final tuning cycle and the data loss was not
too serious.
I wanted to throw this out there to see if others have seen it, and
then I can file a bug if it looks like I'm not missing something
myself. Thanks for everyone's time!
