Tomcat 8.5 In Eclipse 4.7.0 Not Seeing Changed Html Files

Tomcat in Eclipse is ignoring source HTML changes and not publishing them, even though it worked fine before. I have Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, with Tomcat 8.5.6 installed in C:\bin\to

Solution 1:

Somehow "Build Automatically" had been disabled.

Yes, the source of all these problems is that somehow in Eclipse the option Project > Build Automatically had been turned off. I don't know how. I don't know when. But once re-enabled, everything started working again exactly as it had been before.

I probably would have found this sooner or (much) later, but I stumbled across an answer to another question in which @mico mentioned this in passing. I am grateful.
