I would like to contribute to the paperUI development, however, struggling but how to get started.
Making a change and running it in he eclipse does not seem to be possible.

Hence the question:
* How to run the code changes made to paperUI (without rebuilding full distro)
* is there an alternative recommended editor?
* Are additional tools needed / recommended

So far I found that I can rebuild the paperUI jar with maven and than reload it in karaf than I can test, but it seems quite cumbersome.

Anyway, what you guys recommend

Hey,

For the development purpose the easiest way is to have a separate copy of index.html that references all js/html files inside web-src folder. You will have to change "httpService.registerResources(WEBAPP_ALIAS, "web", null);" to "httpService.registerResources(WEBAPP_ALIAS, "web-src", null);" in PaperUIApp.java and it should let you develop without having to run a maven build every time you make an html/js change in the code.

Hope that helps!

Aoun
