There must be a way to speed up this cycle. => The way webpack and other tools work is that they monitor directories and whenever there is a change in a file they (compile and) copy it into the relevant folder.
It would actually work similarly with OpenMeetings. I can for example run OpenMeetings with the Jetty build in: cd openmeetings-web mvn install -P allModules,quick,mysql jetty:run-exploded -Dwicket.configuration=DEVELOPMENT and then if you navigate to: openmeetings-web/target/openmeetings-web-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/openmeetings/web/room/room.js If you edit this file, all to get this "live" is to refresh the browser. No need to start or stop anything. Jetty will serve the changed content! Now the only thing missing would be automatically copy (and compile) those files into this directory, without doing a full Maven rebuild and/or restarts. Just some lightweight JS compile. With the goal so that you can still modify the files in: openmeetings-web/src/main/java/org/apache/openmeetings/web/room/raw-video.js and it will run a lightweight task to compile and copy to: openmeetings-web/target/openmeetings-web-5.0.0-SNAPSHOT/WEB-INF/classes/x/y/z/*.js Do you have any ideas how to achieve such a lightweight maven build that just does the JS/CSS tasks to generate this folder (without wiping its content) ? If we can get this done we speed up the cycle of change + retry by a factor of 10.
