Maven multi-module doesn't reload resources

Question

We are having some issue with Maven multi-module project. We have divided our project into some Maven modules. Each module is packaged as WAR and each one depends upon the other one.

Actually our architect designed this structure. But now we are facing a problem that is very annoying. JSP classes not reloading instantly. For example I am changing only one html element's class , I have to re-run application to see changes. Before dividing process it was ok , all java classes and JSPs were reloadable instantly. But now only java classes are reloaded not resources. We are using tomcat-7 maven plugin as container and run application as tomcat7:run-war goal. I will appreciate if any suggestion that helps me how to solve this problem and to mirror changes on JSP instantly to user interface?

Thanks in advance.

I am using Intellij. Also I added jrebel plugin and configured it succesfully-I think-. But no result. — Mesut Dogan, Jul 26 '16 at 13:45

Using tomcat-7:run-war will start tomcat using a packaged war file. Did you try to run tomcat-7:run instead ?
