Clean Tomcat's working directory with IntelliJ

I'm using IntelliJ 14 for deploying a Spring App to my local Tomcat 8 installation (Windows).

I recently changed the letter casing of some file names and it seems that Tomcat's working directory is not updated correctly (propably the fault of Windows's case-insensitive filesystem).

How do I clean Tomcat 8's working directory with IntelliJ?

Solution

  • IntelliJ creates the Tomcat cache at C:\Users\<your-username>\.IntelliJIdea<year>.<version>\system\tomcat. You can delete this folder to get the cache clean.

    For Windows, the folder is c:\Users\<your-username>\AppData\Local\JetBrains\IntelliJIdea<year>.<version>\tomcat\

    Attention! Be sure to clean the browser cache. If you use Chrome, F12>Application Tab>Clear storage>Click Clear site data
