Container embeded in Compiler Maven Plugin
Hi !
A new feature is now available in Archetype Compiler Maven Plugin. It is able to embeded a container, like a Tomcat or a Jetty for instance , to execute your application behind it. To reach this goal, the plugin uses Cargo (http://cargo.codehaus.org).
So, you just need to specify a WAR file (or an expanded WAR directory) and your apllication is directly executed and compiled. Moreover, a WAR file resulting from your web project compiled is now created, ready to be deployed.
Documentation of how doing all theses things is available on the Archetype Compiler web site.
