Just thought I'd send a little back to the community. I coded a simple eclipse builder plugin that helps speed up webapp development when using the war plugin.
I'm sure there's something out there that does this already, but this works pretty well. If you edit and save a file in either the 'src/main/webapp' directory or a java class file, it copies the output to the exploaded war directory in 'target', so changes should be visible immediately rather than after running maven. Obviously, if you have plugins on your project, they won't get run. This really came out of a need to speed up jsp editing. The plugin will also listen to the output on the compiled classes directory, so editing java classes in 'src/main/java' will compile to 'target/classes', and from there be copied to the webapp exploded directory. The plugin also takes 'finalName' into account. However, it does not look into parent pom definitions, etc, so more tricky configurations are not taken into account. http://www.bigheadco.com/warplugineclipsebuilder Comments welcome. -Kevin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
