Talking about version 1.9.1 and goal mvn appengine:devserver
The automatic reload mechanism of the devserver now works really nice. Whenever
the IDE compiles a file the devserver picks up changes and restarts the
devserver.
Moreover - we did not yet get any PermGen exceptions. Really nice work.
However, there is one thing that would further improve the way we work with the
appengine: Having the ability to exclude certain directories from triggering
the reload mechanism.
Something like that exists for instance in the jetty-maven-pugin via
<scanTargetPatterns>
<scanTargetPattern>
<directory>src/other-resources</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*.xml</include>
<include>**/*.properties</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/myspecial.xml</exclude>
<exclude>**/myspecial.properties</exclude>
</excludes>
</scanTargetPattern>
or in ninja-maven-plugin via
<configuration>
<useDefaultExcludes>true</useDefaultExcludes>
<excludes>
<exclude>(.*)png$</exclude>
</excludes>
Especially when developing heavily javascript based applications this would
come in handy and would speed up development significantly (reloading the
devserver still takes some seconds).
