client side code set up and why use apache web server
<p>Trying to get a better understanding of the current project set up and want to know if there is an easier set up.</p>

<p>The project is set up a 2 different components, one project contains the client side code and the other project contains the java code. </p>

<p>The client code is html, js, css etc which needs to be deployed to an apache web server on local dev machine and the java code is run from eclipse indigo launching tomcat 7.</p>

<p>My question is that each time I make a change to the client side code, i must go through the build process to get minified code and then deploy to htdocs dir on my apache web server. </p>

<p>What i don't understand is why does this need to happen, and if there is an easier way that i can develop both components without deploying the client side code. The lead developer is on vacation to get my questions answered.</p>

<p>Also, what editor is good for using on client side code that uses a lot of jquery, handlebars etc. would prefer a wyswig editor.</p>
