title: Not able to see changes to UI files while using Websphere Liberty Profile through Eclipse on Mac
body: <p>Within <a href="http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg248076.html?Open" rel="nofollow">WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile Guide for Developers</a> pdf in section 1.4 (Frictionless application development), it mentions:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>By default, the Liberty profile will monitor deployed applications for changes. 
    Updates to static files (HTML, CSS, or JavaScript) or JSP files are detected and 
    served immediately. Changes to servlet classes cause an automatic restart of 
    the application.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am not deploying via dropins folder. I have a configured server.xml file within Eclipse</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;application location="/Users/path/my_application.ear" type="ear"&gt;&lt;/application&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am not able to make any changes to my source UI files and see updates on WebSphere.
  I am also not able to find a particular js file deployed anywhere, so it seems the *.ear file is not expanded, so I could edit the file directly on the server.</p>
  
  <p>The only way I can see changes to my UI files is to make the changes to the source files and rebuild the ear file.</p>
  
  <p>I feel like I am not creating a proper mapping to my source files and/or perhaps the Liberty profile on Mac doesn't explode the ear files so that I can edit the deployed UI files.</p>
  
  <p>Thoughts?</p>
