apache - dont want to build again and again

Question

I have a webapplication lets say at location

C:TestMyWeb

Every time I make some change I have to rebuild it via ant package command. Then I copy the MyWeb.war file into apache's webapp folder.

I want to avoid this build and copy thing after every change. How to bypass it?

Try using an IDE like eclipse and start your application from within the IDE. The IDE should automatically recompile your files and in most case can do a hot replace of the code so you don't need to restart.
