Michelle Murray created TOOLSDOC-333: ---------------------------------------- Summary: NeedInfo: How does LiveReload work? Key: TOOLSDOC-333 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TOOLSDOC-333 Project: Documentation for JBoss Tools and Developer Studio Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: User Guide Affects Versions: 4.1.0 Reporter: Michelle Murray Assignee: Xavier Coulon I am trying to document LiveReload Tools (integration of LiveReload in JBDS) and I have some questions about how it works. Users need a LiveReload server within the IDE and the LiveReload browser extension installed in Chrome or Firefox. Why are both needed? How is the work process distributed between the two? Which is responsible for which tasks? I ask because I could imagine the browser extension just looking for changes in file time stamps and consequently reloading pages. It clearly isn't as simple as that but I don't see how the LiveReload server fits in. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
