I have the free copy of IntelliJ 9 and I'm not sure where to set the 'exploded' directory.
I have a paid copy of IntelliJ 8 which has Tomcat builtin. The internal Tomcat server indeed has several options, one of which is a deployment web facet and Exploded Directory input field. After following the directions http://mattfleming.com/node/281 here (which includes setting the exploded directory), I got it to work - but not without an interesting note. It seems that I must click the 'MAKE PROJECT' button (just to the left of the Run menu) after changing a file. Is that correct or is there a way to automate this? Maybe that's expected and allows me to batch changes ... although it is nice to see trivial HTML changes show up right away. Back in (free) IntelliJ 9, I configured "jetty:run" but again, not sure how to set the exploded directory as I can't find that option. Furthermore, changes in my environment again are not automatically propagating to the server - until I click the MAKE PROJECT button ... after which I received this: [ERROR] Error reconfiguring/restarting webapp after change in watched files org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException: web.xml does not exist at location /blah/blah/blah/project/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml Which is consistent with what Andrei suggested ... I guess that option has to be available to the maven server somehow - but the field alludes me in the free version of IntelliJ. -- View this message in context: http://click.1134972.n2.nabble.com/Optimal-Development-Cycle-tp5457365p5461257.html Sent from the click-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
