JRebel and Intellij – Not catching JSP updates

I’ve been struggling to get Intellij and JRebel to work with a web app that is normally built with Ant. The build is complex, but I finally have it building and running in Intellij (without JRebel).

When I add JRebel, I can see the JRebel messages in the Tomcat console log, everything seems to be working, but when I change a JSP and press “Make Project” I see no changes in the running instance. I’m sure it’s something completely stupid that I’ve done, but I really am out of ideas as to what it could be. I’ve followed the instructions but no dice.

Here’s my rebel.xml file:
