I know the tomcat plugin can turn your src/main/webapp into a exploded tomcat project. So every change to jsp files will be picked up without having to do anything.
Deploying an in-place WAR directory To avoid copying resources to the build directory, the webapp source directory can be deployed to Tomcat by typing: mvn war:inplace tomcat:inplace http://mojo.codehaus.org/tomcat-maven-plugin/deployment.html#Deploying%20an%20in-place%20WAR%20directory Hth, Nick S. -----Original Message----- From: David Delbecq [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 3/13/2008 15:05 To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Adding "goals" to pom.xml Hi Stefan, Was not going to ignore your previous response. It just doesn't seem to be any existing plugin that take a part of your webapp and life copy it to a test tomcat somewhere. Moreover, that would be an operation outside of compilation process (it's just a helper script so we don't have to do it by hand when debugging and don't have to go to full war generation ^^) regards David Delbecq En l'instant précis du 13/03/08 13:31, VUB Stefan Seidel s'exprimait en ces termes: > Hi David, > > have a look at the plugin lists from maven.apache.org and > mojo.codehaus.org.
