[Gorkem Ercan (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16134?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12927697#comment-12927697 ] 

Gorkem Ercan commented on JBIDE-16134:
--------------------------------------

BrowserSim/CordovaSim has a menu item that says enable livereload and AFAIK that menu item is visible and enabled even if the livereload plugins are not installed. In my opinion, the dependency already exists and BrowserSim/CordovaSim is just dodging it by being an external app. 

I guess the dependency can be an optional one as long as the menu items are not enabled or visible when the livereload is not possible. 

I think livereload server is just odd on the servers view but as long as a developer does not have to deal with it on default cases I am OK with it. Would it be too hard if someone enables livereload on BrowserSim the livereload server is created and started automagically so that they never even realise there is a server involved.

> CordovaSim should configure and start the livereload server when the livereload is enabled.
> If starting the server from CordovaSim menu is a big problem, alternately, the server can always be configured and started before a CordovaSim launch.
