Running Tomcat Server with an artifact created by Maven into IntelliJ 13

It it is possible generate an artifact with maven before a Tomcat Server Run/Debug Configuration of IntelliJ 13?

I have tried to do something like this, using Maven profiles, in order to build the system for Development, Preview and Production environments.

Any Thoughts?

Solution

  • To build a artifact with a profile you have to create a Maven Run/Debug configuration as in the following image

    Maven Build

    Then In Tomcat Run/Debug Configuration add above build in 'Before Launch' section by clicking the '+' button and select 'Run Another Configuration' then select the maven build.

    Do Another Tool

    The Result should like the below image.

    Result

    Now if you run Tomcat configuration first the maven build will be executed before Tomcat.
