Sample Usages

use with WAS:

start WAS such as Tomcat, Nginx, IIS first.
gulp watch
use Ctrl + c for exiting from watch.
- all the files should be saved before Ctrl + c, because Livereload-for-was load source code and rewrite them.
- use VCS such as git, svn after Ctrl + c, because the livereload script is included in all source code.

    livereloadForWas = require('gulp-livereload-for-was');

    livereloadForWas.listen();
    gulp
        .src('src/main/webapp/**/*.jsp')
