[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBWEB-271) Web resources from META-INF/resources do not get refreshed

[Harald Wellmann (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBWEB-271?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12772251#comment-12772251 ] 

Harald Wellmann commented on JBWEB-271:
---------------------------------------

Redeploy is extremely expensive. You're killing developer productivity. 

I'm happy with any other solution, but not doing anything is not an option. What about a development mode configuration switch?

Tomcat 7.0.39 and Eclipse WTP with "Serve modules without publishing" do support this use case. Don't you think JBoss should be equal or better in terms of usability?

> In a running web application, developers expect changes in web resources to be reflected immediately when reloading the corresponding page in the browser.
> This works for top level resources in the WAR root, but not for resources stored in META-INF/resources in a WEB-INF/lib JAR.
> (I'm assuming a deployment with exploded JARs, the way JBoss Tools do it when the JAR project has the Dynamic Web Module facet.)
> Note: The version dropdown does not offer 7.2.0.Final-redhat-1 (the version shipped with EAP 6.1.0.Beta).
