Thank you guys! I think I'm getting closer. I should have explained that I wanted to create a UI plugin. If I keep the jetty server running and in another tab I type:
mvn clean install -pl client then it takes like 20 seconds and I can see the changes. This is because the UI plugins are in the "client" project. I was also following the indication regarding the generated-webapp: vi client/target/generated-webapp/plugins/testPlugin/testPlugin.js Although I change something in the .js file, the changes are not shown when I hit F5. Any ideas why? I also copied everything with cp -rf ui/* client/target/generated-webapp/ but nothing happens. Thanks!
