Hi, basically I use maven with the jetty plugin in the pom(for command line execution) and Eclipse + M2Eclipse plugin, with some addons that works almost all the time, but causes some troubles (maybe I'm the one that don't know how to configure them...) :
1) RunJettyRun: after some workarounds (example: put the jetty-env.xml under WEB-INF) it allows to modify components and pages in a multi-module project without installing each module everytime, but: - the server restarts at each modification instead of using the tapestry "runtime reload" feature - after some restarts you get the usual PermGen exception, so i should remember to stop and start frequently. - I don't know why, RunJettyRun (and the Sysdeo tomcat plugin even) doesn't manage the maven classpath in the right way: having some frameworks (let's say: tapestry, spring, hibernate) with different versions of the same dependency (slf4j made me mad) the command-line maven choose the one you tells...the M2Eclipse says "Overridden by <version>" or "Managed from <version>"in the same right way, but the jetty classpath have BOTH versions and goes in strange exceptions. 2) In the last days I'm trying the "Tapestry Tools Plugin" (it's under development: http://code.google.com/p/tapestrytools/ ), that have a very usefull feature: Switching from class to template(and reverse) using CTRL+R, but: - I don't know if the project is still developed...i submitted a patch for maven integration, but after a month the issue is still there and no response even. So you should patch and compile by yourself the plugin. Hope this can be helpful.
