App Engine Dev App Server doesn't update in eclipse

Question

I'm using Eclipse Java EE and I'm developing a google app-engine application using java and I'm using following Run configurations to run the application on localhost.

Base directory : ${project_loc}

Goals: appengine:devserver

Maven runtime : External C:\Program Files\Apache\apache-maven-3.2.5-bin\apache-maven-3.2.5

When I run the application using above configuration eclipse says that It is running (as the following)

[INFO] Jan 12, 2015 4:29:40 PM com.google.apphosting.utils.jetty.JettyLogger info
[INFO] INFO: Started [email protected]:8080

[INFO] Jan 12, 2015 9:59:40 PM com.google.appengine.tools.development.DevAppServerImpl doStart
[INFO] INFO: Dev App Server is now running

But when I type localhost:8080 on the browser it says "This webpage is not available" (using chrome or any other) But once I deploy the app on google appspot, the localhost:8080 shows my application but every time the changes I made won't appear unless I deploy the app to the appspot.

and when I started a new project and run it on the localhost It shows my previous application

However the application runs fine on appspot.

I think something wrong with the devserver (It doesn't update correctly) and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

Try running mvn clean install before mvn appengine:devserver

Answer 2

When I type 127.0.0.1:8080 on the browser insted of localhost:8080, dev server runs just fine.
