why only hot-deploy

[myofbiz]

Hii can someone clear my doubt please..

Why should we drop our application in hot-deploy when all other applications like example are in applications dir.
I read that:
A
component can sit inside the framework/, application/, specialized/, or hot-deploy/ directory.  The advantage of the hot-deploy/
directory is that components here are loaded automatically when OFBiz starts.
What does it mean by automatically loading(Once we run ofbiz, i can access  my application in hot-deploy as well as the applications in application dir.--
May I know what the difference is...

for applications that are accepted into ofbiz Trunk
they will appear in the application or specialpurposes.
if you have an application that you want to provide ad-hoc
then it would go in the hot-deploy and a clean way to add functionality
to an already existing ofbiz syststem that is running, with out worrying
about configuration of files.

you can, of course, distribute you own ofbiz with a folder with your
application in it, like I do, if your going to support the complete
distribution.

One important feature of hot-deploy is its possibilitites to oeverride existing artifacts.
This allows you to keep updated without worrying. Just look around in Nabble and you should figure out what I mean
