IntelliJ with Tomcat and Gradle - Smart Tomcat

by GarciaPL on Sunday 9 July 2017

Last time I was describing how to enable Tomcat for projects maintained by Gradle in post with title called "IntelliJ with Tomcat and Gradle using Gretty plugin". The thing that I found recently even a better way to achieve that! Moreover this way is less invasive in terms of that you do not need to append any configuration to your gradle scripts! This better way is known as a Smart Tomcat! It is a plugin for IntelliJ which allow you to configure literally everything around your app if it should be run on Tomcat.
