This won't be necessary anymore after last port revision :)

I guess, that Tomcat should complain about context being alreay
deployed/started. That's OK, because you need to stop the context in
order to be able to start it again.

Make sure, that "ant reload" task depends on something like "compile" or
"copy" -- that is, that JAR's are realy rebuilt, .class'es are really
compiled and that everything is really copied to the
TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/this_particular_webapp directory.

should this be moved to java@?
