Since I do not have the source code for my production site that is deployed as an EAR file, I need to make a small change in one JSPX file inside the EAR file. I open the EAR in 7-ZIP, edit the JSPX and deploy the same. The change is not reflecting in the site. Is there anything else to be done to make the change reflect?

I'm putting a custom plist file (GoogleService-Info.plist) into my Resources directory, but it isn't getting copied into my built project. I can go into XCode and manually add it through "Copy Bundle Resources", but I need to get this running without manual steps.
I can't just use <resource-file src="src/GoogleService-Info.plist" /> in my plugin.xml because I'm building for a couple different widgetIds - I have 2 versions of this file that I switch out, depending on my widgetId. I have the copying and renaming automated with a hook to get the right file into Resources/GoogleService-Info.plist.
How can I get the file I put into Resources included?
The cordova-ios project has code to get the resource files included in the XCode project files, and you could replicate that, but I ended up with a workaround:
Copied my file to a consistent name in a before_prepare hook
Used a resource-file tag for the new name in my plugin.xml
I have created the default play application in IntelliJ in directory P. I have over-written the default index.scala.html with my own html code. The html code refers to some css and js files which are outside the directory P. To include these external files, I added the directory of these files using project configuration settings.
My webpage doesn't load properly as the server returns 404 for the css and js files. What am I doing wrong?
When you added your directory using project structure, you only say:
Hey, IDEA, please consider this folder part of my project, consider
its contents source code and display it when I open my project.
However, when you deploy or run your app, you only deploy the usual folders to the server, which contain the resources which will be available for clients to access.
The external directory is not part of these directories and will not be deployed.
What you can do is to copy the file from the external directory as a part of your build process before deploying the application.
EDIT: Detailed answer here: What is intellij's build process for play applications
I am manually copying a war file to the web-apps folder of Tomcat and starting Tomcat using cmd ./catalina.sh start. I want to customize it in such a way that I can use a war name to start e.g ./catalina.sh start quickenweb (where 'quickenweb' is a war file name).
Please suggest how to achieve this.
If you have access to Windows and WinZip or the 7-Zip File Manager, you can open the war file with Zip Program. Or, if you have LINUX, PeaZip/File Roller would work too.
In the zip program, you can navigate to the folder - like log4j.properties for example and edit it. When closing TextPad/LeafPad for example, the Zip program should prompt you to update the war file. It is advisable to edit/update the war file outside of the tomcat folder structure and then delete the war under tomcat and then update.. Actually, probe is a great tool for managing/updating/compiling war files.
Hope this helps?
I have a problem using Intellij Idea.
I am absolutely unable to load text file as InputStream - it doesnt matter where do I put the file (main/java, main/resources...) it just can't find the file - in Eclipse everything works just fine.
I tried setings->compiler->resource patterns and added ?*.txt but that doesn't seem to work either.
Any help is appreciated.
If you load it as a File, make sure that Working Directory is properly set in IDEA Run/Debug Configuration, since it's the default directory where Java will look for a file when you try to access it like new File("file.txt"). Working directory should be set to the directory of your project containing .txt files.
If you load files as a classpath resource, then they should reside somewhere under Source root and will be copied to the classpath according to Settings | Compiler | Resource Patterns.
If you can't get it working, upload your project somewhere including IDEA project files so that we can point to your mistake.
Look at the image, notice that the txt files are in the project root, and not the source folders (in blue).
If you open the Project Structure dialog, and click on Modules and select your module - are the correct folders marked as Source Folders on the sources tab?

Also, if you print out the absolute path of that file you are trying to read, is that anywhere near where you expect it to be?
An easy way to figure out the same would be to try creating a file in the same fashion and see where it gets created in your project. You can put your input file at the same location and it should work just fine (if it doesn't, you should check your resource pattern which might be causing the file to be not copied over in the build output).
This method actually gives you the working directory of your intellij settings which is pointed out in the accepted answer. Just sharing as I had similar trouble and I figured out this way. :)
I have a project where I create a JAR which contains a bunch of classes with main() plus a set of scripts which set the environment to invoke them. Most of those are long running processes which log a lot (~10-20GB).
This means I have a pretty complex log4j.xml file which, being in src/main/resources/, goes into the JAR. When something breaks in the production system, I'd like to modify the logging on the fly for a single run.
So I came up with the idea to have a conf/ directory on the production and put that into the classpath, first. Then, I thought that it would be great if M2 would put the config files in there (instead of the JAR). But that would overwrite any manual changes during an automated deployment which I strongly dislike. I'm also not fond of timestamps and things like that.
So my next ideas was this: M2 should leave the config files in the JAR but create copies of the files with the name *.tpl in the conf/ directory. The admin could then copy a template to the basename to override the files in the JARs. .tpl-Files would be overwritten but that wouldn't hurt. Admins would have full control over which version of the log was active and they could run a diff to see whether any important changes were made.
Now the question: Has someone seen a plugin which automates this process? That is which creates a conf/ directory with all or a selected subset of everything in src/main/resources/ and which renames the files?
Best practice in Maven handling config files is to place them in a separate conf directory, and pack them in a binary assembly using the assembly plugin. Placing configuration files, like log4j.xml in the src/main/resources doesn't make sense, since it is not a true application resource, but more of a configuration file.
We cope with the overwriting, by packing the configuration files with the posfix .def. For example: myapp.properties is packed into the assembly as myapp.properties.def. When the person who uses the assembly unpacks it, it will not overwrite his original files. After unpacking he simply merges them by an external tool (we use meld in Fedora Core).
I may be missing something and this doesn't answer directly the question but did you consider producing a zip assembly of the exploded content of required artifacts (to be unzipped on the target environment)?
Sounds like you're attacking the problem the wrong way. Why not just run the application with -Dlog4j.configuration=/some/where/my-log4j.properties? If you want, you can add a command line flag to main() which invokes the PropertyConfigurator directly.
