This command line will keep the class files up to date. Using JavaRebel is better than having Jetty reload the classes and Jetty will destroy sessions on reload. mvn scala:cc Many thanks, that worked a treat. For those following this thread; the instructions here worked a treat... http://wiki.liftweb.net/index.php?title=JavaRebel in one shell I run mvn jetty:run then in another I run mvn scala:cc and it works like a charm! -- James --- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://fusesource.com/ --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Lift group.

[Lift] Re: getting mvn jetty:run to reload changes to snippets
Switch to the one and only great IDE: Eclipse ;-)But be sure to use the latest Scala IDE for Eclipse (2.7.4 RC1 or later). Then you will have lots of fun! 2009/4/17 James Strachan james.strac...@gmail.com Hello Lifters!
