The overview page contains several sections. Some of them are inherited by the Web Tools Platform while other
are contributed specifically by the Virgo Tools.
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" type="disc"><li class="listitem">The <span class="emphasis"><em>Target Platform</em></span> section has been introduced in release 1.5 and provides shortcuts
for editing or reloading the PDE Target Platform associated to the current Virgo Runtime Environment.
</li><li class="listitem">The <span class="emphasis"><em>Redeploy Behavior</em></span> section allows the user to specify files that should be copied
into the server without redeploying the bundle. This is typically used to speed up publishing operations for static files.
</li><li class="listitem">The <span class="emphasis"><em>Publishing</em></span> section allows the user to select when changed resources should be published
to the running server.
</li><li class="listitem">The <span class="emphasis"><em>Timeouts</em></span> section allows the user to configure the server startup and shutdown timeout.
</li><li class="listitem">The <span class="emphasis"><em>Deployer Control</em></span> section allows the user to configure the parameters of the JMX communication
between the Virgo Tools and the Virgo Runtime Environment.
</li><li class="listitem">The <span class="emphasis"><em>Artefact Deployment Order</em></span> section allows the user to configure the activation order of the artefacts
deployed into the Virgo Runtime Environment. Multi-selection is supported.
</li><li class="listitem">The <span class="emphasis"><em>Server Startup Configuration</em></span> section allows the user to configure statup parameters of
the Virgo Runtime Environment. The <span class="emphasis"><em>-clean</em></span> options if checked forces the cleaning of the Virgo Runtime Environment
temporary folders at every startup.
