Re: [m2e-users] Can I invoke "package" on Eclipse auto-build?

[Fred Bricon <fbricon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hugi,

you don't need to invoke mvn package on your webapp after each local modification.
You can install m2e-wtp (https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-wtp/wiki), if you want a tight integration with the Eclipse Web Tools Project and its JavaEE tooling, or webby (https://docs.sonatype.org/display/M2ECLIPSE/Integration+with+Maven+WAR+Plugin) which is more limited in scope but provides faster turnarounds.

Both plugins can be integrated with JRebel. 
You can read Rafal's testimony on the subject : http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/m2e-users/msg01041.html

[originally sent to the maven-users list, before I discovered this one]

Hi all.

I'm using Eclipse 3.7 to develop Web Applications (jsp & servlets) using Maven (m2eclipse).

Currently, when I make modifications to a class or resource in Eclipse, I have to manually invoke "mvn package" on my project to get the updated resources/jars copied to the target directory (where the application is running, from an external Tomcat).

Anyone know if I can make the Maven auto builder in Eclipse automatically update the web application residing in my target folder, so I can skip the manual step? (and totally enjoy the autoloading of modified classes JRebel is providing)

(or if someone has a better idea for a workflow—essentially, I just want to code, and not have to do any manual work for each modification.

Cheers,
- hugi
