title: IntelliJ Fails Deploying exploded war to tomcat
body: <p>I have a Java web application I am developing in IntelliJ and deploying using Apache Tomcat. I have some run configurations defined that are shared between everyone on the team. These run configurations are defined to deploy an exploded war artifact into a local tomcat. Other team members are able to deploy and run just fine, but I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Artifact Gradle : project : project.war (exploded): Error during artifact deployment. See server log for details.
  Artifact Gradle : project : project.war (exploded): com.intellij.javaee.oss.admin.jmx.JmxAdminException: com.intellij.execution.ExecutionException: /IdeaProjects/project/build/libs/exploded/project.war not found for the web module.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems that IntelliJ doesn't want to create the <code>exploded/project.war</code> directories. If I create those directories manually I don't get that error message, but none of the WAR contents get placed into the directory.</p>
  
  <p>I thought that it could be a permission error so I even tried giving my project directory <code>777</code> just to try to eliminate possible problems.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone ever run into this problem?</p>
  
  <p>I am running MacOS 10.12, and have been able to deploy in the past, but this problem just started.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong></p>
  
  <p>The IntelliJ log doesn't really show any additional errors, just the full StackTrace for the errors above.</p>
