Jetty: Updated Static Resources in U-Turn Mode

Question

I am running a maven project that has a military dependency. I have several resources specific to the actual project, which is located in src / main / webapp.

When I start developing a project using mvn jetty:run-exploded , the project is assembled in target / with the overlay applied.

When starting Linux, if I update resources in src / main / webapp - within a few seconds the update also applies to its target directory. However, on Windows, the target is not updated until I stop and start maven. I applied a special webdefault.xml for the berth to disable the berth file lock.

Anyone have this setup working on Windows?

JRebel can do what you want. Not sure if Maven can actually achieve this. See the JRebel docs for more information.
