Xavier Coulon reassigned TOOLSDOC-366:
--------------------------------------

    Assignee: Michelle Murray  (was: Xavier Coulon)


Hello Michelle,

I'd like to suggest a few changes and I've sent a PR so that we can discuss about them.
I think the main clarification that needs to be brought is that LiveReload (http://livereload.com) is an open source application that has a server-side and a client-side (as you wrote). The client side is written in JavaScript (livereload.js) and should  be included into the HTML pages (via the Browser Extension: when activated, the extension just manipulates the HTML DOM and inserts a <script> element), or it should be included by the user in his IDE.

Now, the LiveReload tools that is part of JBT is a re-implementation/integration of the livereload server component and it uses the same protocol to communicate with the livereload client. Yet, this client is exactly the same as the one described above. What our tooling provides users with is a mean to edit the returned HTML pages 'on-the-fly' to insert the <script> element, just as the Browser Extension would do or just as the user would have to do. 

I hope this clarifies a bit the changes I submitted in the PR.

Please, let me know if you need more information/clarifications.

Best regards,
Xavier
