We are working on building an Angular application and hosting it on Liferay. I have started example Liferay portals to go. So far I have developed a Liferay portlet using Maven. I was able to build a war for it and deployed it manually by copying the war file to portal/deploy directory. Similarly, when a portlet is built using Ant, once its built, its automatically deployed in the Liferay portal.
Is there a way to auto-deploy the maven built portlet, rather than copying the war file every time? If there is a way, what setting have to be changed in the pom file?
Edit:
By adding the following to pom file auto-deploy the portlet?
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.liferay.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>liferay-maven-plugin</artifactId>
