I have a maven gwt web app.
Whenever I modify my html or css file while my gwt project is running the changes are not reflected in target folder which is a pain. Since I need to run gwt:run goal again by stopping the GWT super dev mode.
Is there a way these files will get automatically copied to the target folder on modification?
My maven build config currently looks like this:
<build>
<!-- Output classes directly into the webapp, so that IDEs and "mvn process-classes"
update them in DevMode -->
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/classes</outputDirectory>
<plugins>
<!-- Mojo's Maven Plugin for GWT -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>gwt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.8.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
<goal>test</goal>
<goal>generateAsync</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<!-- Plugin configuration. There are many available options, see gwt-maven-plugin
documentation at codehaus.org -->
<configuration>
<runTarget>JsInterOpHome.html</runTarget>
<modules>
<module>com.ainosoft.jsInteropDemo.JsInterOpHome</module>
</modules>
<copyWebapp>true</copyWebapp>
<generateJsInteropExports>true</generateJsInteropExports>
<draftCompile>true</draftCompile>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
In most projects, mvn war:exploded
will work. You can also try mvn package -Dgwt.compiler.skip
.
