I use Eclipse Indigo (EE) to build applications in Java framework Vaadin, using Tomcat 7.0 server. After changes in code I wont see result in a browser, so I need to click option "Clean Tomcat Work Directory.." and wait until Tomcat stop and start a server.
Otherwise, when I refresh app page, I don't see any changes. Even when I restart server (and when eclipse automatically restart it when I save changes), without cleaning tomcat directory.
Option "Automatically publish when resources change" is enabled.
Is any faster way to do that? or can I automate that process?

For configuring the tomcat server in eclipse IDE, click on servers tab at the bottom side of the IDE -> right click on blank area -> New -> Servers -> choose tomcat then its version -> next -> click on Browse button -> select the apache tomcat root folder previous to bin -> next -> addAll -> Finish.
Go to the project in the Project Explorer, select the web project, right click and select "Run As", you will see Apache Tomcat, create runtime configuration for the web project by selecting "New" button.
On an Apache Tomcat server, to "reload" an application means to call a method of the StandardContext class called StandardContext. reload() on a given Context. This method creates a new classloader and new servlets, drops all references to the old servlets, and then calls the Servlet.
Additionally to the answer of Kowser, it is possible do hot code changes when running tomcat in debug mode.
Otherwise you could investigate in JRebel
