Document how to start a watchTask #204

Closed ryandesign closed 11 years ago

ryandesign commented 11 years ago

The documentation says "When you create a WatchTask, it will watch a directory of files for changes" but it does not say what incantation I need to utter to get jake to start doing that. Is it jake watch? If so, that doesn't work, and I'll file another bug report about that.

Good call. I've added the explanation of startup to the README, added a description for the WatchTask so it shows up correctly in jake -T, and added a little feedback when you start it up so you know what's going to run. This is all pushed to NPM in v0.6.7.

Can you let me know if this stuff works for you?

Thanks for documenting it. I filed #206 for my problems getting it to work.
