title: Hot deploying changes with Netbeans, Maven, and Glassfish
body: <p>Recently we migrated from using ant to maven. Within Netbeans, I used to edit and save html, xhtml, javascript, css files in the WAR and almost immediately the changes were available on the server. </p>
  
  <p>Now, when I edit and save those types of files in the WAR, nothing happens. I have to right click my EAR -> Build with dependencies -> Run to make the changes available. This process takes ages.</p>
  
  <p>I've found a few similar questions, but am still confused.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: I just wiped my development environment and setup from scratch again. Then I duplicated the setup on a co-worker's machine (him on Windows, me on Ubuntu). With the same setup process, less different OSs, he can edit/save xhtml files and see the changes without additional steps!</p>
