Maven tomcat7：在IntelliJ中为多模块项目运行

Question

We have a multi-module Maven project: project-war depends on project-api .

I have imported the modules into IntelliJ, and I would like to use tomcat7:run to run run the project-war application in Tomcat. I do so, the application runs fine.

I make a change to project-api , stop Tomcat, restart Tomcat. The project-war application runs again fine, but the changes to project-api are not reflected as expected.

How to get the transitive changes from my workspace to be reflected when running tomcat7:run ?

I've tried " Resolve Workspace artifacts ". It didn't help. In fact, I don't get this setting at all.

I've tried " Before launch: " " Make ". It does what appears to be a build (compile) but it didn't help either.

I think what I"m looking for is pretty much what m2e/Eclipse calls workspace resolution . Can't get it to work in IntelliJ. Your help much appreciated!

As it turns out, this problem existed using IntelliJ 12.1.7, but not anymore using IntelliJ 13.1.5.

Workspace resolution works with a combination of the described configuration:

• Resolve Workspace Artifacts
• Before launch: Make
