0018384: copy.file ant task

Description

When doing client development (javascript development) one often makes minor changes to JS and needs to test them right away. Currently, this is VERY time consuming since it requires two things:
1) ant smartbuild that copies the changed JS files to context
2) restart tomcat, another minute or two of lost time

It would be great if:
1) there would be an "ant copy.files"-like task that quickly copies such static resources over to context
2) if there was a setting that tomcat would not cache those resources so no restart is needed.

Since I envision more and more development will be done in javascript on the client side, this would be very welcomed by developers.

Notes
(0040551) mtaal (manager) 2011-08-30 09:51	Another nice function would be a copy function the other way around, from the context back to the modules. See the attached script. Or maybe we should use this as the recommended way, change in the context, refresh the browser, copy files from the context to the modules.

(0040554) iperdomo (reporter) 2011-08-30 10:56	@roklenardic: As Martin suggests. There is no need to work in the modules folder. You can work directly in WebContent/web/your.java.package/js/somefile.js The resource is automatically refreshed, and you only need to refresh your browser window. After developing you need to remember to copy the modified files back to the sources (modules folder)
