I don't know if anyone else would find this useful, but I develop under
linux and I just set up a fake webapp made up of symlinks. Everything in
src/webapp is linked except for WEB-INF which is a directory and then
anything in src/webapp/WEB-INF is linked into that. Also though
WEB-INF/classes is linked to target/classes and WEB-INF/lib is linked to
lib.
The end effect is something that looks like the end webapp, and leaves
the regular build structure in tact.
There are three problems:
1. It is system dependent
2. Ant does not know what a symlink is and just follows them; so:
<a:delete dir="webapp" /> will eat up most of your project as ant
follows the links and removes the originals. rm -r will only delete
the symlinks.
3. Tomcat won't follow symlinks by default, so the resource loader has
to be told to allow it. In server.xml:
<Context path="/ops" docBase="ops" debug="0" reloadable="true">
<Resources className="org.apache.naming.resources.FileDirContext"
allowLinking="true" />
</Context>
After everything is set up though it just works and java:compile will be
enough to let you see the changes to your webapp. (Well, when changing
things other than java source files maven isn't needed to see changes.)
