GWT development in Eclipse using TOMCAT server

Question

Is there a way, every time i compile my GWT project, to automatically deploy war contents to Tomcat's ROOT directory?

What's the best environment for Eclipse - Tomcat - Gwt development

Answer 1

I skip deployment entirely. Set up your project to point at the application folder in the tomcat deploy directory. Add JRebel for automatic class reloading, for additional convenience. It does however require a different folder structure than that generated by the GWT plugin (there is no war folder, the war folder is the root of your project).
