How to setup scanning in Gradle?

Question

Background: I have a gradle project, and I use jettyRun with success. I want Jetty to pick up code changes immediately without requiring a server bounce. Gradle supports hot deploy, and I understand that all I need to do is turn on "scanning", but I am not sure exactly what I need to do. Here's what I tried:

jettyRun {
    httpPort = 8989
    reload = 'automatic'
    scanIntervalSeconds = 2
    daemon = false 
}

Thanks.

That's how it should work. Remember that the jetty plugin picks up the resources from the 'build' folder and not the from the src folder.

cheers,
