Hi,
What I like to have is the ability to edit jsp, html, css, even image files
in the IDE, then "compile" them (in IDEA it's Ctrl+Shift+F9) and see the
changes in the browser. It seems that this plugin works with .war file not
the exploded format of a web app. So everything has to be re-packaged and
the whole web app has to be reloaded. I'm pretty sure that I'm using this
plugin wrongly because nobody writes a plugin like that.
Before using the plugin, I used to write a context xml file in
$TOMEE_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost pointing to the exploded web app
created by maven (after modifying the $TOMEE_HOME/conf/web.xml with
<init-param>
<param-name>development</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>checkInterval</param-name>
<param-value>1</param-value>
</init-param>
in the jsp servlet. And it works really well. But I love to use the plugin
(jetty-maven-plugin works perfectly, it allows us to specify the web.xml,
the webapp directory ...).
Thanks.
