Incremental build with NetBeans and Maven for jetty hot deployment
- by deamon
After my unsuccessful attempt to run Tomcat with hot deployment from NetBeans with Maven, I've tried jetty. The jetty-maven-plugin doc gave me an important hint:
The plugin will automatically ensure
the classes are rebuilt and up-to-date
before deployment. If you change the
source of a class and your IDE
automatically compiles it in the
background, the plug-in will pick up
the changed class.
If I look at $myproject/target/classes/... in the projects directory, I can see that NetBeans doesn't compile and refresh the class file on saving. I need to build the project explicitly to update the file and than jetty picks up the change. (The plug-in param "scanIntervalSeconds" is set to 1.)
How can I tell NetBeans to compile on save and update the class file so that jetty can pick up the change?
