DevStudio / external OpenShift fails deployment

0) Windows operating system 1) Remove rsync from the PATH. To check if rsync cannot be detected, simply try to run rsync command in the cmd cli. You can do it via multiple ways: a) go to the installation directory of the sygwin -> to the bin directory -> find there rsync binary and rename it. b) if you have cwRsync installed separately, then uninstall it, or also simply remove it. Finally, command which rsync must output "which: no rsync in <PATH env var>". 2) Create openshift connection in Openshift Explorer 3) create any eap application, e.g. jboss-eap70-openshift 4) wait till pod is built and run. 5) create server adapter 6) make changes in the sources and save them. Publish will happen. If you continue to do publishes, it will lead to the nested directories.
