Environment setup during development #317

Hi: This is a wonderful plugin, but I wonder how to use it during the development. Since we may change the backend codes frequently and we use the maven-tomcat7 plugin, which means we need to start/restart the server accordingly, which in turn will call this plugin to download nodes/npm and set the environment, I think this may take a long time which is ineffective during the development.

Did I miss anything?

Node/npm will not be downloaded again. It will only be downloaded the first time you run maven.
