Hi, I don't know if it's of any interest to you, but I managed to use the newly released WTP (http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ )to do just that.
I like WTP a lot as with my setup it seems much faster/stable than myEclipse for jsp editing. Moreover the deployement is much closer to a real one because it allows you to build the dependant jars and use the maven repository, as maven would do, but within eclipse. With WTP you get a real build process to a have a working webapp (copy files across, assemble jar, copy maven dependencies). WTP also deploys the webapp to the webserver of your choice (tomcat included) But it doesn't come free, you have to configure this build process in a new format (.wtpmodules). It's still a bit of a pain to configure, but I think it's worth the effort. What would be nice is to have either the eclipse maven plugin or the mevenide eclipse plugin updated to generate/synchronize those .wtpmodules for you. details at http://roumanoff.blogspot.com/ cheers, Patrick > -----Original Message----- > From: Doug Douglass [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Best approach in using maven w/ eclipse > > The risk associated with this presumption is that > there typically (hopefully always) IS a build process, but it > is being subverted. > > >Anyone know if there is a Tomcat Eclipse plugin that allows you to edit > >JSP live in the IDE (i.e. hit the page, make a change and refresh the > >browser)?
