title: Why does STS deploy a WAR file in every time I edit a .css file in a Grails project?
body: <p>I am new at Grails development and am finding that when I am using STS (Spring Tool Suite) and editing various files in a Grails project, some files will cause the WAR file to be rebuilt and redeployed, and some will let me simply refresh the browser to see my changes (.gsp file for example). </p>
  
  <p>The real problem is when I am working on a .css file. Whenever I make a change and save, the STS IDE automatically rebuilds the WAR file and redeploys it to the server which is time consuming when I am messing with a layout. Is there some configuration I can do to edit these files and not have to rebuild and redeploy the WAR file?</p>
