We have an additional step between 1) and 2) where we use ant to copy all files from our working directory to the directory that is actually synchronized. To us, this has the following advantages
- ant builds a jar from our classes
- prevent unnecessary files to be synchronized (like .svn-directories)
- have the possiblity to organize our working directory the way we do it in every project and don't be tied to the structure that opencms expects for a module
I do the same as well, though I am using Maven for my builds.
