What I do now is modify the files in a running Tomcat webapp to quickly

the setup of the Wiki page, I will loose this speed. I'll think this over,
but if anyone has comments please provide them.

Rant: I have lost precious files on several occasions using this practice. I know many people use this practice since it's easy, but it's not foolproof. At the office, I get almost physically abused if I mention the practice, let alone use or advocate it. :-)


There even exist 'backcopy' or 'sync' Ant tasks supporting this practice. Forrest had one IIRC, but now they support in-place editing for most of the website content.

But as they would say in Dutch, "efkes flink zijn" seems more sensible.
