Sample project incorporating React in a Java web appliation
- Incorporate React into a Java web application while still using standard Maven build commands for everything.
- When using "mvn jetty:run" include Hot Module Reloading so changes take effect immediately without restarting server or refreshing browser page.
- When using "mvn package" minimize all .js and .css files and include them in the .war file
- Require no changes to server side files (like web.xml) to support development mode
- Java 7
- Maven 3.2
git clone https://github.com/emmostrom/JavaReact.git
cd JavaReact
mvn jetty:run
Open browser to http://localhost:8080/JavaReact
edit src/main/jsx/Hello.jsx and change Hello {this.props.who} to Good Bye {this.props.who} and save file. The browser should automatically show the new change.
Changes to .less files will automatically get picked up as well.
See the SSR branch which requires Java 8 : https://github.com/emmostrom/JavaReact/tree/SSR
