Yea, I'm already using it, it's the plug-in that comes with Appfuse. I wouldn't say I am 'happy' about using it. I've always been partial to using the myEclipse plug-in to first deploy my app and then start Tomcat.
Now if I use the Tomcat Maven plug-in, together with Candy, I can simply right-click on my project, choose Run as, and run the jetty:run-war, jetty:run-exploded or jetty:run goals. This also seems to let me debug. My question was, rather than use Maven at all it would be cool to be able to simply deploy my Appfuse app to a different Tomcat, and then use Sysdeo to start it. But I am not sure how I would do this, because the Maven goals currently used to deploy also compile everything, run tests, look for dependencies, create a WAR, etc. I would need some kind of 'smart' deployer that knows how to correctly do all this. I am sure it's possible but I'm a Maven newb, no clue how I'd go about doing it. As I said, I don't mind using Maven but the cool thing about using the myEclipse plug-in to deploy was that it would hot-deploy changes made in classes or jsp. With Maven I think I have to stop and start. Apparently you can do this by configuring the Maven Jetty plug-in as well, I just haven't looked into it yet ... Thanks for any tips!
