http://www.intellij.net/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=5212082 When I "Package" a JSP file (right click -> Package file) - the status bar displays "File '...' have been packaged". After doing some work and packaging the file again - no indication is given that something actually happened. The file is packaged but since the status bar displays the same message - it simply doesn't change and one sees it as "nothing happened" I think adding the timestamp to the message would be helpful: "File '...' have been packaged at '...'"
