Hi guys I used to use exadel studio and never had problems testing because I only had to point tomcat to my deployables directory. But now I am using lomboz, and it doesn't seem to work the way like that of exadel studio. Basically, here's what I do:

1. Compile the app
2. Make war
3. Put into tomcat webapps folder
4. stop/start the server

this is very time consuming especially when I only need to modify a JSP,I have to make another war file again and stop/start the server. Isn't there any faster way of doing things? Thanks!

I don't know about Lomboz, but the Sysdeo Tomcat plugin runs webapps directly from the eclipse project folder - no need to make and deploy a war file.

Would it be possible that when I save, the file that has been changed automatically reflect to the file I have in TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp and replace that file?
