Toggle Build Automatically

This feature is currently only supported in Spring-Maven projects.
When saving a file, it automatically builds and copies the file and stores it inside the target folder.
Supported files are as follows.
  • *.java
  • *.js
  • *.jsp
  • *.html
  • *.css
First, check [Project]>[Build Automatically Toggle] to change to Active state.
And when I save the file, For the *.java file, it is compiled into the ${deploy_path}/WEB-INF/classes folder.
  • The ${deploy_path} can be found in [Projects]>[Properties]>[Build/Run Settings]
*.js *.jsp *.html *.css file is copied in proportion to the path of the saved file. The coplied path is locate at the bottom of the path ${deploy_path}
  • By default, only files in the src/main/webapppath are applied.
  • With maven-war-plugin, it follows only the path set in warSourceDirectory.
Examples
  • If you saved src/main/webapp/index.jsp, it will be copied to ${deploy_path}/webapp/index.jsp.
  • When warSourceDirectory is set to myweb using maven-war-plugin
  • if you savedsrc/main/myweb/index.jsp, It will be copied to ${deploy_path}/myweb/index.jsp
