https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10590

I have a Mavenized project (m2eclipse, JBoss Tools Maven Integration) which I publish to a JBoss 7 runtime (standalone) by dragging it to the runtime instance. To work around the publish directory names not matching the maven pom configuration, I use the runtime deployment tab to override the directory names that the project modules are deployed under in the deployments folder of the server.

(next part copy/pasted from original issue comments)
But then I run into the next oddity: the settings for the war module seem to be ignored out of the box. The deployment tab mentions the war module as being deployed as 'app-web.war' while in fact it ends up in the deployments directory as 'app-web-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war', just like Maven would name it if you don't provide a finalName. However, as soon as I tab over the deployment locations and save the changes to the runtime configuration, upon full publish the web module gets the directory name as it is listed in the deployments tab.

To be a little more specific: I get this behavior when I haven't made changes yet to the war entry in the deployment tab; the tab indicates the correct name but the result after publishing is wrong. When I then press tab to navigate to the deployment-location of the war, I don't change anything but I hit CTRL+S to save changes, upon full publish the name is then correct.
