让JRebel与'mvn tomcat：run'一起使用

Question

I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of getting JRebel to work when I execute 'mvn tomcat:run' from the command line. I can get JRebel to work in my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA), but it feels a little clunky to be running inside of the IDE. When I run tests, I don't like having another process running right next to it - call it a habit.

More than that though, I've been having some server lock ups with JRebel as I try it out... and I don't want IDE to hang as a result. I've been teminating the process manually, and control is given back to IDEA... but it would be better to not have it running in IDEA at all.

I've tried googling this, but I haven't found how to incorporate JRebel with the tomcat plugin.

Thanks

Answer 1

doesn't setting MAVEN_OPTS system variable help?

Just and example:

1. mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-webapp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp
2. cd my-webapp
3. to pom.xml of your example add the following:
   <plugin>
   <groupId>org.zeroturnaround</groupId>
   <artifactId>jrebel-maven-plugin</artifactId>
   <executions>
   <execution>
   <id>generate-rebel-xml</id>
   <phase>process-resources</phase>
   <goals>
   <goal>generate</goal>
   </goals>
   </execution>
   </executions>
   </plugin>
   
5. mvn tomcat:run

In the console you'll see message from JRebel like these:

JRebel: Directory 'C:\\projects\\my-webapp\\target\\classes' will be monitored for changes.
JRebel: Directory 'C:\\projects\\my-webapp\\src\\main\\webapp' will be monitored for changes.

如果您恰巧在eclipse中执行tomcat：run并安装了JRebel eclipse插件，则还可以在运行配置中简单地启用JRebel。
