A java servlet usefull for dev ONLY :
- serve static file
- notify change to client via LiveReload protocol (over socket)
The default port is not 35729 (like define in the LiveReload protocol). Instead, it uses whatever port your personal webapp uses. If you change the port then you could not use the Browsers Extension for LiveReload, but it should works if you insert a JavaScript snippet in your pages.
This is an example WebApp web.xml that configures LiveReload to watch /src/main/webapp for changes.
