Smart deployment tools for Java [closed]

Question

I'm looking for a tool able to deploy partial webapps, not just deploying a war containing a whole new version of a webapp. The purpose is to permit automated deployment (for example, but not only, properties files) in a Mavenized environment. Any idea?

Answer 1

http://liverebel.com - Take a look on LiveRebel. I think that is what you need.

Answer 2

I have found some tools, too:

• Glu, which is maintained by the LinkedIn team
• ControlTier, which seems able to do that and much, much more
• Chef, which is a Java framework if you want to write your own deployment tool (which is not my case, but could be interesting for somebody else)
