Spring loaded with maven jetty:run and eclipse

Question

I'm running a maven project with the jetty plugin to run the web project. As I came across spring-loaded, I instantly wanted to try it out to get some decent code hotswap without using JRebel or the DCVM.

How is this used within eclipse? I've configured the following:

An eclipse run configuration for mvn jetty:run:

working dir: ${project_loc}

arguments: jetty:stop jetty:run -Dspring.profiles.active="LOCAL" -Djavaagent:C:\XXX\XXX\ide\springloaded-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar -Dnoverify

The jetty plugin in my project pom:

                <groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>  
                <artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>  
                <!--<version>7.4.5.v20110725</version>-->  
                <version>8.1.8.v20121106</version>  
                <configuration>  
                    <classesDirectory>${basedir}/target/classes/</classesDirectory>  
                    <webApp>  
                        <contextPath>/${project.parent.artifactId}</contextPath>  
                    </webApp>  
                    <contextXml>${basedir}/src/test/resources/jetty-context.xml</contextXml>

                            <maxIdleTime>60000</maxIdleTime>  
                        </connector>  
                        <connector implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.server.ssl.SslSocketConnector">

                            <keyPassword>xxxx</keyPassword>  
                        </connector>  
                    </connectors>

                    <stopKey>foo</stopKey>

                        <systemProperty>  
                            <name>spring.profiles.active</name>  
                            <value>LOCAL</value>  
                        </systemProperty>  
                        <systemProperty>  
                            <name>jbossDataHome</name>  
                            <value>${project.build.directory}/jbossDataHome</value>  
                        </systemProperty>  
                        <systemProperty>  
                            <name>log4j.config</name>  
                            <value>${project.basedir}/src/test/resources</value>  
                        </systemProperty>  
                    </systemProperties>   
                </configuration>

But when running this configuration in eclipse it doesn't pick up my changed code. Any ideas on what I could try? A search hasn't produced much answers..

Answer 1

For a maven project, you can export MAVEN_OPTS then use maven command as normal

export MAVEN_OPTS="-javaagent:your/path/to/springloaded-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar -noverify"

after that when you run mvn jetty:run it will works.

For use in eclipse, you can set a argument for jvm.
