IntelliJ IDEA: Auto code update on tomcat7:run

On eclipse, when you execute a Maven RUN with: tomcat7:run on your project, if you change some classes, you don't need to re-run your application in order to check the changes. I think is "hot-code swap" or something like that.

Is it possible to do that on IntelliJ?

yeah you have 4 options:

First press Ctrl + F10

you will see:

• Update Classes
• Update Resources and Clases
• Redeploy
• Restart Server

The second is the answer. More info here:
