I want to build a project which has Java Spring as the backend and ng2 as the frontend. After building the project I want to have a war file to deploy. I placed "angular-quickstart" into webapp/resource and then installed package.json by npm. Eclispe always leaks memory because of too many files.
Can you show me how to get over it? Do I need config something, or is it OK with this folder structure?
As @tan9 suggests, Develop front-end and back-end separately. For back-end you can have eclipse, tomcat, Spring rest. For front-end, create new project using angular-cli (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli), in folder OUTSIDE eclipse workspace.
After development use ng build --prod to create an optimized set of html-js files in dist directory in angular project.
Depends on your requirement you can copy all these to your eclipse Project/WebContent folder; if this is the case, use <base href="."> in index.html.
You should only packaged the compiled resources into your WAR archive.
Try https://github.com/angular/angular-cli , and only package the dist folder created by running ng build.
Or you should try to separate frontend and backend into two Maven modules, package frontend as a jar, and place all built resources into jar/META-INF/resources. And the set the frontend jar module as a dependency of the backend war module.
