Q:

IntelliJ IDEA: prevent redeploy for any little change

I am using IntelliJ IDEA and developing web application in Java.
Is there any way that I debug my app without redeploy for any little change? the redeploy thing makes the working very slow and annoying.

A:

Update action in IntelliJ IDEA is configurable, in case of exploded web application you can set what to do: update resources, update classes and resources, redeploy, restart the server. In most cases it's enough to update classes and resources. Update can be performed automatically on frame deactivation (when you switch from IDEA to the browser).
