hello all @work, we are developing a web application using IntelliJ IDEA. we are not using maven, so structure of directory is as follows
jsp (contains jsps and WEB-INF) src |__ java |__ test plus, we are launching tomcat from intelliJ, making tomcat point to the exploded directory jsp (in fact, the target-classes directory is jsp\web-inf\classes) we are using ant to build the app, which put all the classes in jsp\web-inf\classes. we have tomcat pointing to that directory so that every change in the jsp is immediately reflected on the browser. i wanted to move to maven, but i feel the directory structure imposed by maven will prevent me from doing what i am doing now. as example maven build a WAR in the target\<yourartifact> directory... .. so unless i 'hack' maven by specifying as target-classes directory the jsp\web-inf\classes, i'll have problems... also because in building war maven automatically add all the dependencies to web-inf\lib directory..... i feel i cannot do that with maven.... unless i do some hacks has anyone ever end up in a similar situation? regards marco
