See title. I would also like the project to redeploy after every change. I am new to this area so my knowledge isnt that good. I tried googling and searching here, but I can't find any answer.
thanks for any help
There are two plugins that combined together in Eclipse work quite well together to perform what you want:
M2E: M2Eclipse which handles everything related to Maven.
Eclipse Web Tool Platform (WTP): which handles everything Java EE related (Tomcat, JBoss, etc...)
For M2E to work properly with WTP, you need to add m2e-wtp. You may find several useful information as well as some good links here.
I would start from the Eclipse Java EE distribution (it includes already Eclipse-WTP) and then add M2E (either with their update site or through eclipse market place: look for M2E and M2E-WTP).
From there, you create a Web Project and you can run it on a Tomcat server. The first time you try to run you project on a server, you will install Tomcat and it will appear in view named "Server". Double click on the server to configure ports, automatic deployment etc...
You can easily deploy a webapp using the Cargo Tomcat plugin. Here's helpful articles on this topic:

I was an Eclipse user and I have switched to IntelliJ.
In Eclipse, I have some JavaEE projects linked between each others, and run on a JBoss Server. I was using the Add/Remove functionality to automatically add the EJB to the server.
After that, in the window, it automatically recognize the beans and I can add them to the server.
I have tried with a war exploded, but I can't find the same module than the module on eclipse.
How can I do the same in IntelliJ because it feels that it's complicated
I have an application built in Spring Tool Suite and using angular as well for frontend. I am building my maven and the deploying the war in Tomcat. While the Spring dev-tools work fine for any application when it is deployed form the tomcat container within STS but not when I put the war in external Tomcat. Is there any way to hotSwap the application other than blackboxing my javascript in Chrome. Can anyone list down the complete steps to follow. I'm a noob.
I have already put a dependency sping-devtools in maven. There are many answers related to that but none of them is working. It is a big project and takes 4 minutes to build and then I need to deploy it in tomcat which is a lot of burden.
Looks like you are looking to hot reload the static files. In IntelliJ, it's simple as saving your code changes and doing a Build Project CTRL + F9. It's even better if you install a Live Reload extension for your browser so that any changes made is refreshed automatically. There are also other similar options for compile & build automatically in IntelliJ as well other IDEs such as Eclipse.
I am getting tired of all the bugs in eclipse and m2eclipse, and would like to build with maven using the command prompt, plus afterwards start the server, and deploy the application to the server and publish it using the command prompt. Normally I do that within eclipse servers tab.
If I make a change to the code, then I should just rebuild with maven and republish.
I am aware that you can deploy an EAR in Wepshere admin web console, but it is not ear I am thinking of, at least I don't think so. I want to be able for example, once application is deployed, jRebel should be able to reload the clases in the jvm, but I believe the ear file is standalone so that wouldn't work.
So,
How can I start the server from the command prompt, plus deploy a project and publish it ?
Thanks!
You can automate the build so that it deploys the app as well, at least with Maven. Have a look at this post: Maven 2 and WebSphere:
WebSphere has (had?) a Rapid Deploy feature that you can use for "hot" deployments. Essentially it fired up a headless Eclipse for this, but it was much faster than a full EAR build and just as dynamic as going through WTP.
At the time, we had an Ant task that we used to copy the files over to the WRD directory. I'm not sure how that would work with Maven, but I imagine one could rig up something.
I've been trying to integrate deploying java .war's in GlassFish V3 through Maven. While I have found a few plugins, none of them look to be very active:
Maven Glassfish Plugin
Eskato's Wordpress Blog on Maven
And I got the most information out of Eskato's Blog, it was written March 2008, so I don't know what the state of GlassFish Maven integration is, nor can I find a suitable plugin to work with. With the Maven GlassFish Plugin I have had some success, but it still doesn't work entirely well for all goals it says it supports, which makes some of the commands ineffective.
Has anyone else been able to integrate Glassfish V3 and Maven successfully? If so, what resources did you use to get it done?
Update: CARGO-491 has been fixed and I've updated my answer accordingly. To summarize, there are now basically three options:
Maven GlassFish Plugin
A first option would be to use the Maven GlassFish Plugin. This plugin allows to interact with a local or remote GlassFish install and the management of Glassfish domains and component deployments from within the Maven build lifecycle.
Maven Embedded GlassFish Plugin
The second option would be to use the Maven Embedded Glassfish Plugin. As stated by its name, this plugin doesn't rely on an existing install but uses an embedded GlassFish, running in the same JVM as the plugin. This plugin is extremely nice if you want to keep your build portable (anybody can get your POM and run a build involving GlassFish without having it installed) with almost the same features as a normal GlassFish install, except clustering of course (you can use a preconfigured domain.xml if you want). See Testing with the GlassFish Maven plugin and JavaDB Embedded for an example.
Maven Cargo Plugin
The work initiated by Kohsuke Kawagushi as been finally integrated in Cargo and, starting with Cargo 1.0.1, GlassFish 3.x is now supported. Using the Maven Cargo plugin is thus a third option. This would be interesting for builds that want to interact with containers in an agnostic way. But I'm not sure Cargo allows all the flexibility of the GlassFish specific plugin(s) (e.g. deployment of JMS resources, etc).
maven-glassfish-plugin and maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin both have their pros and cons. The main difference is that the latter works with an Embedded Glassfish instance, as indicated by its name, i.e. the server is running in the same VM as the plugin.
So you cannot use maven-embedded-glassfish-plugin to deploy your WAR to a standalone Glassfish server, you need maven-glassfish-plugin to do that.
The main problem I had with the maven-glassfish-plugin is the fact that its interaction with the Glassfish server is stateful - I could not find a way to use it such that my WAR would get deployed to the server in any case, no matter whether the previous build succeeded or not.
glassfish:deploy does not work if the WAR is deployed already. glassfish:redeploy does not work if the WAR is not deployed. And Maven has no if-else logic...
I've blogged about how to configure Maven Embedded GlassFish plugin to work correctly with GlassFish 4.0 until there's a new release of that plugin.
https://blogs.oracle.com/brunoborges/entry/glassfish_4_beta_and_maven
Also, it is possible to configure a datasource in the glassfish-resources.xml and have it working correctly.

These are useful tips to anyone that want to run Java EE 7 projects with Maven and GlassFish 4
You can use this one :

I use the glassfish plugin on maven-glassfish-plugin.dev.java.net and did some code changes to support v3 now. I requested committer status and wait for acknowledgement. Hopefully I can commit my changes.
I have to organize a development environment where I can run Maven projects with JBoss Seam, IDE eclipse 3.4.x and deploying to JBoss 5.
The projects that will run on this environment are based in Java 6, EJB3 and JSF1.2. The environment has to support hot-deploy.
I used to work in a development environment with Sysdeo Plugin to make Tomcat run all my applications - I've rarely used EJB (only for MDB's).
So I would prefer an environment similar to this.
I'd like to know what you guys use for the kind of architecture (what kind of eclipse plugins - if they work fine, things like that)
The thing I really didn't get right is why my Maven2 project with SEAM as a dependency packaged as EAR doesn't appear in my server (in Eclipse Ganymede - tab servers) for me to make deploy (right click - option Add and Remove Projects...).
Do I have to include an specific project nature to make my Maven2 EAR project visible to my JBoss AS included in my Eclipse Ganymede?
Seam doesn't appear to go well with Maven2. I'm facing some problems to make they work together - some dependencies appear to be missing and I have to put some extra files in some special places like seam.properties and components.xml with some special contents.
I feel like forced to use seam-gen and Ant. Too bad!
Not sure if this is helpful to you, but but we run the following
eclipse as IDE
mercurial for source code management
merclipse mercurial eclipse plugin http://goldenhammers.com/merclipse/
maven for builds (and m2eclipse)
mylyn with bugzilla for issue tracking
tomcat as application server
hudson for continuous integration http://hudson-ci.org/
reviewboard for code reviews http://www.review-board.org/
sonar for code quality metrics http://sonar.codehaus.org/
proxmox VE for virtualization http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Main_Page
Most things run on separate virtual machines to keep interference to a minimum. Proxmox VE is a breeze to setup (15 mins and you are running).
Hudson monitors the repository and automatically builds and tests each push.
If the war build is successful it is automatically (re)deployed (using a hudson plugin) into Tomcat and restarted.
I cannot recommend these tools enough.
HTH
I am currently working on the same environment you asked for, with the only difference I am running the app on a tomcat 6.0.18. I prefer to use tomcat 'cause it's so faster to run, and I don't use EJB for now.
Eclipse plugins :
maven : m2eclipse.codehaus.org
jboss tools : www.jboss.org/tools
web tools platform for hot deploying : www.eclipse.org/webtools/
I took the Eclipse Java EE version, I don't use seam-gen to create the basic architecture.
I don't have so many problems with this environment, sometimes the hot-deploy doesn't work and I have to manually clean files.
The only problem I had was with the separation of my app in two modules : eclipse wasn't doing the job well (not taking the last package of one module while building the other one), and I discover the option "disable workspace resolution", which works fine now.
Works fine. Hope it will for you.
