title: Modify IntelliJ to create symbolic links for resources for a Tomcat or Jetty configuration for a Maven project
body: <p>I have an IntelliJ Maven project.  Currently, IntelliJ copies resources (such as .js, .css) to the target directory when I debug/run a Tomcat/Jetty configuration.  How do I modify IntelliJ to create symbolic links instead of copying files?  If this isn't possible with a setting, what does the source code of a plugin look like that provides this behavior?</p>
  
  <p>For example, IntelliJ takes a file like <code>/project/src/main/webapp/js/file.js</code> and copies it to <code>/project/target/war_path/js/file.js</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This is an IntelliJ project backed by a Maven project using the maven-war-plugin.  I don't know if this would require changes to Maven also?</p>
  
  <p>There is an annoying delay in IntelliJ that I'm trying to avoid when I modify a resource and hit refresh in a browser.  I want the file to be live.</p>
